While a return to the octagon still seems a long way off, Conor McGregor can already say he’s back to his “normal” daily activities. The biggest star in MMA history surprised the public by appearing in the filming of a commercial for his energy drink chain, Macenergy, last Wednesday (19). The video simulates a war and features influencer Ashton Hall.
In the caption of his Instagram post, Notorious joked about the supposed recommendation from the doctor who operated on him. Since his loss to Holloway, he has been posting various content on social media to show his recovery and return to the octagon.

The Irishman's return to the world's most famous octagon happened in the main event of UFC 329 , but it was a cold shower for all fans of the sport. Within seconds of the fight, he was defeated by technical knockout after suffering a right knee injury.
The injury turned out to be a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), requiring him to undergo surgery. There is still no date set for his second return, but McGregor has already made it clear that he intends to retire after this next fight.
