Conor McGregor boasts his shoulders are "cannonballs" ahead of UFC return

Conor McGregor has vowed to show off his shoulder strikes in his UFC return whilst likening them to "cannonballs".

McGregor is in the last stages of recovering from a broken tibia he sustained last July in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier. The UFC star will undergo a CT scan on his compromised leg and expects he should now be able to use it comfortably in training.

The former two-weight champion is without a win since stopping Donald Cerrone in 40 seconds at UFC 246. In that fight, McGregor hurt Cerrone just seconds into the bout with several shoulder strikes before finishing him with a head kick and punches.
