Conor McGregor has started his training camp for the upcoming UFC White House event, and claims he\u2019ll return to action in top form.<\/p>\n
McGregor is a former two-division UFC champ, having famously claimed the promotion\u2019s featherweight and lightweight belts. He\u2019s also the biggest star in MMA history, having headlined most of the 10 biggest pay-per-views in UFC history.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, it\u2019s been many years since we\u2019ve seen the Irish star in action. His last fight occurred in mid 2021, when he suffered a stoppage loss to Dustin Poirier that left him with a badly broken leg. He was also beaten by Poirier in his next most recent fight, suffering a knockout loss earlier the same year.<\/p>\n
McGregor has been teasing a comeback for more or less the entire time he\u2019s been away. So far, it hasn\u2019t happened, but the UFC\u2019s plans for an event on the White House lawn seem to reinvigorated him.<\/p>\n
Over the last few weeks, the Irishman has repeatedly promised he is back on the straight and narrow after several high-profile brushes with the law. And now, he\u2019s returned to SBG in Dublin, the gym where his career began, where he is working with his long-time coach John Kavanagh.<\/p>\n
Apparently, his UFC White House camp is officially underway.<\/p>\n
Conor McGregor vows to return to UFC in top form<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m 100 percent,\u201d McGregor said in a video published by The Mac Life, which also include some impressive sparring footage. \u201cWe\u2019re going in here 100 percent. I\u2019m going into this fight 100 percent Conor McGregor. Not 92! 100 percent Conor McGregor.\u201d<\/p>\n
If McGregor does return for the UFC White House event, which is still far from certain, it\u2019s unclear who he\u2019ll fight. For a long time, Michael Chandler seemed like the only option. However, UFC boss Dana White has walked that plan back. Meanwhile, Jorge Masvidal has hinted that he could be fighting the Irishman.<\/p>\n
