Sparring footage released by Conor McGregor which had fans excited about his imminent return is actually more than 12 months old.
The Irishman is working towards a return to the octagon, and recently shared a video of himself sparring with an unnamed fighter, whom he put down with a big left hand after faking a kick. He has claimed that the new attack, which he claimed was "Conor McGregor-created" would be used in his return, which is expected to take place next year.
McGregor is still not 100 per cent back to fitness, but has been upping the intensity in training recently and expects to make a full comeback next year. And fans appear not to have noticed that his video, which he shared today, comes from his California training camp for his rematch with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, and not a more recent session.
