Conor McGregor is staying true to his promise of remaining active and fighting at least 3 times this year. To ensure that he remains at the top of his game, the Irishman has to train regularly. ‘The Notorious’ recently uploaded a video on Instagram, through which he confirmed that he will not let the Coronavirus pandemic waver him from his goal.
The former apprentice plumber, now one of UFC’s biggest stars, is a highly polarizing figure. However, he is an inspiration to many because of his insane work ethic. His journey to his current position in MMA certainly speaks volumes.

McGregor’s work ethic has taken him to the top of the sport
McGregor lost his way in recent times by suffering defeats against Khabib Nurmagomedov and Floyd Mayweather. He was stripped of the belt because of inactivity, as he fought just thrice since winning the UFC Lightweight title in November 2016.
Conor McGregor continues to train during self-isolation
McGregor seems to not want inactivity ever affecting him again. He has taken Ireland’s quarantine instructions strictly and urged his followers to do the same. He has held Twitter contests and posted riddles on the site to engage with his fans. His training, however, has not been disrupted despite him observing self-isolation and socially distancing himself.
A video posted on his Instagram account is a testament to his determination to stay in shape and be ready for 3 fights a year. The caption read, “Focus on the task at hand with Bare knuckle pin pointers.” The video shows Connor in good spirits as he engages in precision training. He seems razor-sharp and raring for a chance to fight in the octagon.

‘The Notorious’ one seems to be preparing himself for a potential fight against the winner of UFC 249’s Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Tony Ferguson. While there are doubts over the status of the event, UFC President Dana White seems certain that the event will go ahead. He boldly suggested that holding the event will restore normalcy to the country.
The event still remains uncertain. However, McGregor is certainly in top shape despite not having a fight scheduled. If he maintains his discipline, one has to bet for his chances at regaining the Lightweight Championship.
