Conor’s training regime comes just under a month after suffering a broken tibia during his fight with Porrier during the main event of UFC 264 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The fight was the long-awaited rubber match, or trilogy match, with McGregor winning the first fight by TKO in the first round in September 2014.

Porrier won the second fight in January via TKO in the second round during UFC 257 in January, with the trilogy fight taking place last month.

He won by TKO after the doctor stopped the bout after the first round, after it was revealed that the fighter broke his tibia.

It’s unclear when McGregor may be able to fight again, though his road to recovery is believed to be a long one. 

McGregor took to social media after surgery and said: ‘Just out of the surgery room, everything went to plan, everything went perfect and I’m feeling tremendous.

‘We’ve got six weeks on a crutch now and then we begin to build back.

‘A clean break of the tibia and it was not to be. Dustin, you can celebrate that illegitimate win all you want but you’ve done nothing in there. 

‘That second round would have shown all,’ he added.
