Conor McGregor shows off impressive physique ahead of UFC return
Say what one will about his antics outside of the cage and gym, Conor McGregor is looking fit ahead of UFC 246 – his return to MMA. With the shape he appears to be in at the moment, McGregor definitely seems to be taking this fight seriously.
In a post earlier this month on Instagram, following wrestling training, McGregor posted a picture showing off the shape he is in already. While it is an older picture, it’s telling of the training he’s been going through leading up to his return to the UFC.
“Solid work at @sbgnaas tonight with our head of wrestling @sergey_pikulskiy,” McGregor wrote. “This man has changed Irish wrestling forever already, yet in reality he is just at the beginning of where he is going with this. These kids coming up through him, with big aspirations to compete in pure wrestling, are astounding! Leading the charge is his own young son @albertpikulskiy. Ireland has not had this before and to see it form and take shape in the flesh is quite something. What a unit!”
