Conor McGregor seems to be getting ready to step back into the ring. After a packed week of activities such as hosting a BKFC press conference, launching a record label, criticizing Jake Paul, and reportedly parting ways with Mike Perry, the Irish fighter took to Twitter to announce his preparedness for a fight. McGregor posted a video of himself hitting a machine without gloves, leading Michael Chandler to humorously ask to see his bare knuckles. McGregor assured Chandler that his foot is completely healed, referring to a past injury that caused the delay of their fight at UFC 303.
This update is encouraging for McGregor, who has been out of action since a serious leg injury in a bout with Dustin Poirier three years ago. Despite going through surgery and facing obstacles, McGregor is now back in training and aiming for a comeback. While talks of a potential rematch with Chandler have circulated, UFC CEO Dana White has stressed the need for McGregor’s full recovery before finalizing any fight plans. With McGregor’s recent social media post, it appears that White’s aspirations for a fight in the near future may be on the horizon.
