UFC superstar Conor McGregor has released a new training image as he prepares for his long-awaited return to the Octagon.

Conor McGregor in training

It’s almost time, folks. Next month, Conor McGregor will return to the cage after three years away. In his last outing, he suffered a broken leg during his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier. Now, he’s aiming to prove that he’s still got what it takes to thrive at the elite level.

Of course, there are plenty of questions regarding whether or not he can pull it off. He’s been out of action for quite some time and, more often than not, that comes with ring rust. On the opposite side to him will be Michael Chandler, a man who has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

McGregor’s big push

If nothing else, Conor looks to be in great shape – as you’d expect for a man of his stature. He’s sparring, he’s preparing, and he’s well aware of the stakes involved in this contest. Chandler has been patiently waiting on the sidelines and he doesn’t want to go down without a fight. Now, all we can do is wait to see what both men can produce when it all goes down in Las Vegas.
