MMA legend, Conor McGregor continues preparing for his return to MMA. Recovering from a serious injury suffered in the middle of the 2021 season, the Irishman registered a boxing training session, but assured that he was not in a rush to return. Last week, the 'Notório' surprised by asking for a fight for the UFC welterweight (up to 77kg) belt.

"Unhurried. When I hit you, you will feel the pain”, wrote Conor, in his account on Instagram.

Former double Ultimate champion (featherweight and lightweight), McGregor is going through his worst moment since his professional debut in MMA. In his last performance, in which he ended up injured and overcome by Dustin poirier, the fighter reached the mark of two stumbles in a row, something unprecedented for the fighter until then.

In the process of correcting the fracture suffered in his left ankle in July last season, Conor had already signaled his desire to fight for the lightweight belt, publicly challenging Charles of the Bronx. Months later, however, the Irishman changed his target and now wants to face Kamaru Usman, owner of the throne of the under-77kg category.

At 33 years old, McGregor has 28 fights in MMA. The fighter has 22 wins and six losses.
