Conor McGregor is due to begin proper MMA training soon as he eyes a return to the UFC Octagon later this year, it has emerged.
Coach John Kavanagh claims The Notorious is now "physically fully recovered" from the horrific leg break he suffered in defeat to Dustin Poirier last year and is "ready to get back to that serious phase of training".
The 33-year-old was left on the canvas in agony back in July in what was his second defeat on the spin.
