Conor McGregor is one of the biggest superstars the world of mixed martial arts has seen. The Irishman rose to the peak of the UFC by becoming ‘champ-champ’ in the promotion. And en route to achieving the historic feat, he even set the record for the fastest knockout in UFC title fight history. UFC 194 saw McGregor run through Jose Aldo in just 13 seconds!

Since 2021, McGregor’s mixed martial arts career has encountered a bumpy path, leading to his sidelining from competition. However, it has now been reported that McGregor will be making his return to the Octagon in 2024. As such, The ‘Notorious’ has been actively sharing his training and preparation updates with fans on social media. And his latest update has caused a frenzy amongst fans and fighters alike!

Conor McGregor finds support from fans and fighters in latest training update

Conor McGregor hasn’t been active in the UFC since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. His return has been hindered by extensive rehabilitation due to his surgery and issues with his presence in the UFC’s athlete testing pool. However, recently, UFC CEO Dana White and his coach, John Kavanagh confirmed that there is a high likelihood of McGregor making his return to the cage in 2024.

Therefore, it comes as no surprise that McGregor has been actively sharing training footage of his camp for the much-awaited comeback. So far there have been no official confirmations regarding the date of his return or his opponent. But McGregor recently shared a post on Instagram with the caption, “The Champ Champ Camp. @tidlsport @mcgregorfast”
