Conor McGregor has been urged by fans to revert to his old stance when he makes his UFC return later this year.
Former two-weight UFC champion McGregor, 34, has not fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in July 2021, since undergoing a lengthy period of rehabilitation to prepare for his comeback fight. Having been limited to upper body training for the good part of a year, McGregor has bulked up during his layoff and is expected to compete at 170lb in his return.
For his two defeats against Poirier in 2021, McGregor fought with a boxing stance and was very heavy on his lead leg. It's the polar opposite to his old karate stance that led him to two world titles and with McGregor showing off his boxing in a recent training video, fans have begged him to back to his roots.
