Conor McGregor UFC return: Irishman's current physique speaks volumes

Conor McGregor’s return to the Octagon is edging ever closer and his latest tweet has sent UFC Twitter into a maddening meltdown.

The Irishman suffered a freak injury during his UFC 264 fight against Dustin Poirier. Since then, he has been working his heart out to get back to being the beast we have known him to be.

While there is no timeline yet, The Notorious’ recent tweet suggests he is within touching distance to a return and we cannot emphasise enough as to how sharp he looks. 

He shared two pictures of himself in the ring with the caption “Fighting everyday for inner peace”. You would think he is likely to fight for much more than inner peace, however, when he does finally return. 

Having twice been well-beaten by Poirier in the space of just six months, he will be raring to go again to prove a point to his critics – who, it has to be said, have been noisy of late. 

McGregor, meanwhile, hasn’t been any quieter either, as his recent exchange with emerging UFC sensation Rafael Fiziev would tell you.
