Conor McGregor walked away from the sport, rather unceremoniously at that, following UFC 250 back in June.

Additionally, Conor had expressed an interest in possibly fighting three times in the course of 2020.
McGregor looks to be in phenomenal shape, and his return to the training ring is a positive sign for a comeback.

Also, he has secured some of the most iconic finishes in the promotion’s history and he will hope to continue his upward momentum.
The Irishman bounced back after a disappointing loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov that came via neck crank. Despite the outcome, the aforementioned fight pulled in ballistic numbers at the box office and McGregor’s star hasn’t dwindled.
