Conor McGregor is still the face of the UFC and will probably remain so until another fighter dethrones him in terms of his personality and aura. Moreover, personality is not the only thing that McGregor has to give to the UFC. He is still a competitive name who possesses a dynamite left hand.

Since McGregor‘s last fight against Dustin Poirier, he’s been on the sidelines because of his leg break and is planning a return. He has previously stated that he wants to make a June-July return to the octagon.

Eight months after his horrific injury, ‘The Notorious’ seems to be in incredible shape for a comeback. Captioning it, “Keepin it tasty 👅”, the Irishman took to his Instagram to post a video of him doing some pad work out in the open. He looked swift and powerful with every hook.

As usual, every media personality and fighter garners reactions from fans and haters alike. While one user, @lanchenbi1410, commented, “Comeback will be real,” another user, @genevadowney, commented, “Champ champ!!! Can’t wait 🔥🙌.”

Meanwhile, @conorjuniorfanpage wrote, “One hitter quitter.” Also, @setyanegara.aditya commented, “is that dana white?”

Clearly, love and hate go hand in hand.

Conor McGregor: Human or Super Soldier?

With the best medical and recovery resources possible, it is no surprise that McGregor is back on his feet and hungry to return. That being said, it takes an entirely different mentality to get into the octagon and throw kicks with the very same leg that snapped a year back.

Although he hasn’t returned, McGregor isn’t one to kiss and tell. The Irishman has all the money in the world to just kick back and enjoy. But if he’s stated that he’s returning, best to believe he is.

It is usual for athletes to get into less than game-ready shape after an injury. However, McGregor has been in peak shape ever since his last fight. He has been working out whenever and however he can.

‘The Notorious’ has been in the lightweight division for a while, occasionally moving up to welterweight for a fight. The UFC superstar is currently walking around welterweight, with some of the fans wanting him to challenge that division for a change.

‘Lightweight Baby’: McGregor to stay in Lightweight

Despite his walking weight, McGregor will very likely shed the pounds before his return. Moreover, he has more than made it clear that he wants to come back to the lightweight division. This was when he hinted at fighting Charles Oliveira.

McGregor does not seem to be in the headspace or have the urge to move down to featherweight, where he reigned as a champion. Meanwhile, he would be too small against the elite welterweights. Hence, lightweight seems to be the most attractive and comfortable weight for him, and he does as he pleases.
