SBG Ireland coach John Kavanagh shared some exciting news for Conor McGregor fans as he revealed the Irishman is in great shape, jockeying for a return. McGregor last competed at UFC 264 just over a year ago in a fight that saw him sustain a near career-ending injury.<\/p>\n

However, McGregor prioritized recovery over all else and has been seen back in the gym, truly looking ready to lace on the gloves once more. Per Kavanagh, Conor McGregor has shifted his focus towards an MMA-centric training and his wrestling has become formidable in recent sessions.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s healthy, happy, and it\u2019s great to have him back. The last few sessions in the gym here were MMA-orientated \u2013 he\u2019s got the all-clear for that now. He did a great session last night, we got some great rounds in. He hasn\u2019t lost a beat and was looking great.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Moreover, John Kavanagh compared Conor McGregor\u2019s overwhelming strength to that of a silverback gorilla as he described a recent session he had with the former two-division UFC champion. It\u2019s clear that Kavanagh expects great things from this new and improved version of McGregor.<\/p>\n

John Kavanagh continued, \u201cTrust me, I got to have a bit of a wrestle with him last night and I felt it. When that silverback arm goes around your neck there\u2019s a bit of an extra squeeze there, so, he\u2019s very very strong at the moment. But look, when we get to the stage of looking at weight classes and opponents there\u2019s nobody more professional than Conor at making weight and it will all be done properly.\u201d [h\/t bjpenn.com<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n

Is it a gorilla \ud83e\udd8d, is it a horse \ud83d\udc34 ! No it\u2019s the Mac daddy in Rolls Royce Ralph Lauren. At SBG \ud83e\udd8d ya\u2019s little twats, none of us would be nothing without Royce and the Gracie\u2019s! Coming Live from Dublin Ireland, baby. Safe, strong and secured. Word to helio.
