Conor McGregor is gearing up for his much-anticipated comeback.
After a busy week filled with hosting a BKFC press conference, launching a record label, calling out Jake Paul, and reportedly parting ways with Mike Perry, McGregor took to Twitter to announce his readiness to step back into the ring.
This announcement followed a video posted by McGregor showing him punching a machine without gloves, prompting a response from Michael Chandler about his healed foot injury that delayed their previous matchup.
“Hey bum beggar — the foot is fully healed,” McGregor fired back at Chandler.
Hey bum beggar. The foot is fully healed.

This development is a positive step for McGregor, who recently surpassed three years since his last UFC appearance due to a leg injury suffered in his fight against Dustin Poirier.
Following surgery and a lengthy recovery period, McGregor was slated to face Chandler in 2023, but the bout was postponed due to his foot injury.
Despite setbacks, McGregor expressed interest in rescheduling the fight, with UFC CEO Dana White emphasizing the importance of McGregor’s full recovery before finalizing any plans for a potential 2024 showdown.
With McGregor’s recent Twitter update, it seems like White’s patience may soon pay off.
