Conor McGregor has resumed his training after his horrific injury against Dustin Poirier, and he looks bigger than ever
Irish MMA superstar Conor McGregor had expressed during an interview with The Mac Life last month that he’s slowly getting back on the wagon, and is anticipating a return this year. He also declared that he’s done with the lightweight division and targets a fight with welterweight champion Kamaru Usman next.
Conor McGregor suffered a nightmarish injury at UFC 264 in his rubber match against Dustin Poirier, and has been sidelined since then. Fans were exhilarated to watch their beloved Irish super star work the pads earlier last month, even though the MMA community threw shade at him.
He recently posted a video of him training at his childhood boxing club, throwing some bombs and moving efficiently. From the video it looked like his foot had recovered and is getting back to full potential soon. He put the entire roster on notice, claiming that he will be knocking out and taking some heads when he makes his return.
He posted a tweet captioning, ‘I’m gonna break a head with these. Add it to the list of heads.‘
Whether Conor bounces back from his losing slant and gets back to his full potential since that horrendous injury is a question that concerns his fans till date.
Every year building up to WrestleMania, new rumors surface on the internet suggesting that MMA superstar Conor McGregor will make an appearance. This year’s WWE cornerstone event had its fair share of surprise appearances, but one face that missed the spot was McGregor.
Mcgregor had a simple response to why he wasn’t a part of the show. He suggested that the entire WWE roster fears him and that is probably the reason why he didn’t make an appearance. He said, ‘ Why wasn’t I at Wrestlemania? They all fear me, that’s why.’
Becky Lynch lost her Raw Women’s Championship to Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 38 on Saturday night, finally suffering a pinfall match in a Raw Women’s title match since she won the gold at WrestleMania 35.
During the final moments of the match Lynch attempted to hoist “The EST” for a top rope Manhandle Slam, only for Belair to backflip out of it and nail the KOD for the win. Bianca was a clear crowd favorite, and her dedicated fans cheered all night long.
Becky Lynch responded to the Tweet of Conor McGregor suggesting that she could have used the Irish superstar. She said, ‘ Hey man. I could have used you. Bianca brought an army. Next year?
Conor has always been a staunch supporter of Irish athletes, and it will be interesting to see his future advances in the pro-wrestling space should he decide to help his fellow Irish star.
