Conor McGregor is looking to make his comeback. After two years out of the octagon, ‘Notorious’ is anxious to get back in action and put his recent bad form behind him. The Irishman has fought only five times in the last seven years.

The former UFC and CW two-division champion is in Dubai, training hard for his upcoming return to the UFC. The timeline for his comeback, however, remains unclear. Along with training, McGregor is also making appearances at the big events in the city.
