McGregor In 'Heavy Training' For UFC Comeback

Conor McGregor is already back to "heavy training."
That's according to SBG Ireland head coach John Kavanagh, who is advising "Notorious" while the former two-division champion peddles Forged Irish Stout to overseas breweries. Part of those preparations include video swaps for expert review and analysis.
Doesn't get any heavier than that.
"We're already in heavy training, although we're training remotely together at the moment, he's stateside on I believe a Forged Irish Stout tour," Kavanagh told Lucky Block. "He's visiting a couple of breweries over there and partners, etcetera, but we're still sending each other training videos, training plans."
Let's hope part of the plan is avoiding another leg break.
McGregor was pushing for a December return after recovering from a devastating pinky toe injury, but UFC CEO Dana White does not expect to see "Notorious" back inside the cage until some point in early 2025, right when this new deal takes effect.
"He's got some training partners over there and the footage I'm getting back, he shared some of it recently, he's looking very sharp to me," Kavanagh continued. "If the date was in December, it would be a green light for me anyway."
