Confirming plans to announce his long-awaited return to the UFC tomorrow – as well as revealing whom he plans to fight in his comeback to the Octagon, fans across social media are shocked at a new physique on display from ex-two-weight champion, Conor McGregor – who appears to have shredded down in recent months from a much bulkier frame.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the Dana White-led organization, has been out of action since he suffered a gruesome leg fracture back in 2021 against three-time foe, Dustin Poirier, resulting in a doctor’s stoppage TKO loss in the pair’s trilogy rubber match.

Expected to feature in crunch talks with UFC CEO, White in the Middle East this week in order to determine his future in the sport, Conor McGregor confirmed on social media yesterday morning how he plans to announce both a return date and an opponent for his Octagon comeback on New Year’s Day.
