Conor McGregor is back in the gym! ‘The Notorious’ has finally kicked off his training camp for the long-awaited showdown with Michael Chandler. It’s been a rollercoaster ride for McGregor fans.
McGregor is not wasting any time. The Irish star is also working on his elite striking and wrestling. He has already posted videos of his first sparring session. That left hand still looks like it could knock out a horse. He further posted a video showcasing his grappling skills and takedown defense.
UFC 303 was supposed to be his grand comeback to the octagon, but his pinky toe had other plans. However, now, it looks like the stars are aligning. Dana White, the big boss himself, has let the cat out of the bag as he eyed an early 2025 fight for the ‘Mystic Mac.’
On the other hand, Michael Chandler has been training hard ever since the first announcement of his fight. It will be a tough matchup for ‘The Notorious’ given Chandler’s wrestling-heavy background.
However, for McGregor, it is not just about beating Chandler. It’s about proving he’s still got it. The hunger, the swagger, and the ability to back up all that talk. McGregor’s got a lot riding on this comeback.
