McGregor, a dominant force in UFC with titles in lightweight and featherweight divisions, has been sidelined since his last bout at UFC 264 in July 2021. In a dramatic turn, he suffered a devastating injury, fracturing his left tibia and fibula during a first-round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Dustin Poirier.
While recovering, McGregor set sights on a UFC 296 comeback in December, aiming to face Michael Chandler in welterweight. However, UFC CEO Dana White announced a postponement.
Over the weekend, McGregor honed striking skills at Black Forge Inn, Dublin, engaging in shadowboxing on a boxing machine. Unexpectedly, Snoop Dogg appeared at the pub, sporting one of McGregor’s championship belts.
