Conor McGregor once used to be one of the most dangerous strikers in the UFC, but he hasn't fought in over four years. Now, as the Irishman plots a comeback, his latest training video has failed to impress the fans, and even Jake Paul.

After his infamous leg break at UFC 264 in 2021, McGregor tried to make an MMA return against Michael Chandler last year. However, a toe injury foiled his plans.

Fast forward to last month, and 'The Notorious' was re-energized to commit to an octagon return when U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to organize a UFC event on the White House lawn as part of the America250 celebrations. McGregor has also seemingly re-entered the drug testing pool since then.

Earlier today, the 37-year-old posted a video of himself practicing a kicking drill. Unfortunately for the MMA mega star, it was received poorly by fans and 'The Problem Child'.

"You look very stiff, remember the animal movement yo[u] used to do with Ido Portal. You need it."

While McGregor, former UFC two-division champion Jon Jones, and other top stars have thrown their hats in for a spot on the UFC America250 card, Dana White is yet to make an official announcement regarding the event's lineup.
