Conor McGregor gives most detailed answers yet on UFC return

Conor McGregor has given his most detailed explanation yet as to when he will be back in the octagon.

The Dubliner has not fought since his horror leg break back in July 2021.

And McGregor is currently filming the remake of the 1980's cult classic Roadhouse but has been sharing videos of himself sparring.

McGregor answered a number of questions from fans last night and opened up on his comeback.

The Dubliner was asked how legendary his comeback will be.

And McGregor replied: "The greatest comeback in sports history"

McGregor also confirmed that he would be fighting in welterweight next with the UFC star dropping down in the lightweight rankings.

And when asked how his leg is feeling, he said: "Distant memory. Masterful surgeons and team. Leg is now a lethal weapon."

The UFC star also said of his return: "I’m excited to put on clinics. They’ve seen half a page of my dossier."
