The Irishman man has been on a hiatus from the sport since breaking his leg in the trilogy against Poirier. However, he has since recovered and is scheduled to make his comeback at UFC 303 on June 29 against former three-time Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler.

McGregor is 22-6 in MMA and is a former two-division champion in the UFC having held both the featherweight and lightweight titles. The 35-year-old holds wins against numerous big names including Jose Aldo, Nate Diaz, and Max Holloway, among others.


When Conor McGregor hyped up his "titanium leg"

While we are yet to see if the after-effects of Conor McGregor's UFC 264 leg injury will plague him going forward, the Irishman seems confident that his leg is healthier than ever after getting infused with a metal rod.

Addressing his fans, days after the unfortunate injury in 2021, 'The Notorious' hyped up his recovery saying:

"What I needed was a titanium shin bone and now I've got a titanium rod from the knee to the ankle, the doctor says it's unbreakable. Once I keep building back... playing with the balance, learning how to satnd on it again... then I'll build the strength, and then I have an unbreakable titanium leg... I'm like Arnie [Arnold Schwarznegger] in 'Terminator 2'."
