Conor McGregor is focused on training. Away from the octagon since July 2021, the former featherweight (up to 65,7 kg) and lightweight (up to 70,3 kg) champion has already expressed interest in returning to the UFC. In particular, the Irishman sees the highly anticipated event at the White House, scheduled for June, as a great stage for his comeback. Given this possibility, 'The Notorious' is sharpening his skills in the best way possible.

In a video released on X, formerly Twitter, the Irishman appears honing an area of ​​his game that isn't used as often: grappling. Known as a counter-attacker, McGregor has starred in several fights where he defeated names like José Aldo standing up, rather than on the ground. However, aiming to be even more lethal for a possible return at UFC Casa Branca , 'The Notorious' shows dedication to other aspects of his arsenal as well. Within this, the athlete even finds time to playfully tease his opponents.

"You're trapped! Stop resisting!", Conor McGregor said in the video while dominating his opponent on the ground.

Conor McGregor 's last fight was against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. On that occasion, the Irishman lost via technical knockout in the first round. Since then, 'The Notorious' has struggled with injuries for years, keeping him out of the octagon.

With UFC Casa Branca scheduled for June of this year, McGregor has begun expressing his interest in participating in the card. It's worth remembering that, despite his desire, Dana White, president of the UFC, has not yet confirmed the Irishman for the highly anticipated event. However, the former champion maintains his motivational attitude amidst the possibility of joining the show.
