Conor McGregor is sending a message that he’s already on the road to recovery following his injury setback at UFC 329.
On Friday, the former two-division champion posted a short clip to his Instagram that appears to show McGregor engaging in leg exercises less than two weeks after suffering a knee injury in his loss to Max Holloway. McGregor’s comeback fight—his first in-cage appearance since 2021—ended in just 69 seconds after the 38-year-old was unable to continue due to a leg issue. McGregor has since explained that the injury was to the ACL and meniscus in his left knee.

McGregor’s previous statement said that the fighter is optimistic that “today’s regenerative medicine advancements and improved training methods” will have him back in action by summer 2027. Friday’s social media post was not accompanied by a caption.
It must be noted that due to the lack of detail, it’s worth asking when the above footage is even from, as it could be a workout from before UFC 329. McGregor’s face is also not shown in the video, though the assumption is that those are his legs in the clip.
McGregor fans can probably expect regular updates from the UFC star as he begins another long stretch of rehab and recovery. UFC 329 marked McGregor’s first fight in five years, a period of inactivity that began at UFC 264 in July 2021 when McGregor broke his left leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier.
What do you think? Is McGregor’s latest footage legit? Or is he faking everyone out? Let us know in the comments below.
