Conor McGregor eyes July return from leg injury, pitches idea UFC champ Charles Oliveira waits two months

Conor McGregor is inching closer and closer toward a return to action in the late stages of his recovery process from a broken leg in July 2021.

In attendance Friday at Bellator 275 in Dublin, a bulked-up McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) discussed his progress and timeline for return in an interview with Irish outlet Severe MMA.

“Day-by-day, I feel better,” McGregor said. “They’re telling me to take it easy, but I feel I can go. I feel like I need to pull the reins back on my own self, so that’s kind of what I’m doing. … I’m happy with it. I’m almost back and that’s it.”
