We’ve seen a few training pictures courtesy of Conor McGregor’s Instagram, but we haven’t seen video of Conor McGregor training MMA since 2016. Times were different then. It was when McGregor was on top of the world, holding the UFC featherweight title then becoming the first man to simultaneously capture titles in two separate divisions. Then 2017 was dominated by the Floyd Mayweather fight.
Now, with both of McGregor’s titles stripped, fans have to wonder if he’s ever coming back, and if he does, what kind of shape will he be in? Looking at a few posts from his gym today, McGregor is not only flaunting “McGregor Sports and Entertainment,” which co-promoted his Floyd Mayweather fight, but it looks like he’s preparing to wrestle. That means a few things.
First, if McGregor does come back to the UFC, he’s likely going to fight for the lightweight title immediately, which means he needs to get ready for Khabib Nurmagomedov, who can wrestle Thanos to the mat if he so chose (but Thanos without an Infinity Gauntlet). Secondly, if McGregor comes back, he wants to change the game, so we can expect McGregor Sports and Entertainment on the Octagon, because what Conor wants, Conor gets.
But when does he come back? September? New Year’s Eve? Two years is a long time to be away.
