Conor McGregor recently appeared on an Instagram live. The Irish fighter is currently recovering from his horrific leg break against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He was joined in his live by famous boxing coach Eddie Reynoso. Reynoso is most notably known to fans for training Mexican superstar, Canelo Alvarez.
“Eddy Reynoso, Big fan of your work my man, and what you are doing with those guys in the gym. One day we’ll get to train. I hope so. You know. Like I said I am taking this 24 hours at a time,” said McGregor after being questioned by Reynoso.

“I’m confident but I am gonna take it day by day and see how this leg goes up. One thing’s for sure, I will be able to box. I’ll be out here till mid-October anyway I think. Although I’ll know after this scan how long I’ll be here for,” McGregor added.
“I’d love to be training with you sometime, Thank you for the support,” McGregor said further concluding his chat with Reynoso.
