Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor has not been in the best form of his career. The Irish fighter failed to get a victory in his last two fights against Dustin Poirier and only has one victory since 2018 over Donald Cerrone back in 2020.

McGregor has made his riches in the sport and could live his life quite comfortably, even if he never fought again. This has led many fans to wonder if they have seen all there is from The Notorious One. However, it looks like the Irish fighter might not be done just yet, as he came out with a video showing his latest workout routine.
