Conor McGregor will return to the octagon on June 29 against Michael Chandler . McGregor has not fought since he broke his foot at UFC 264 in the fight against Dustin Poirier . The Irishman has recovered from the injury and recently revealed a new health routine.

Conor McGregor is one of the most agile and flexible fighters in UFC. Arman Tsarukyan recently showcased his flexibility, but McGregor’s poised striking and agility made his performances amazing. Recently, he walked to the gym barefoot through a park.

McGregor had a devastating leg injury not too long ago. Per health experts, walking barefoot has several health benefits. It could strengthen the body by improving the hip, core, and knee mechanics. Moreover, it would also strengthen the ligaments and create stronger leg muscles. It can prove beneficial for McGregor as his style has several kicking techniques.

McGregor also hugged a tree and gave a shout-out to Elite OrthoSport Physical Therapy & Performance, who might have played a part in his recovery after the leg break. Everything is now looking good for the Irishman. In 2024, he became a part owner of BKFC and even made his Hollywood debut with Road House opposite Jake Gyllenhaal.

Conor McGregor wishes luck for Road House team

Conor McGregor’s debut movie Road House broke several records. Streamed on Prime Video, the movie attained a viewership of above 80 million, mainly due to McGregor, who became the highest-paid Hollywood debutant.

Fight fans celebrated McGregor’s performance as Knox, the primary antagonist. Prime Video has now revealed they would make a sequel to the movie with Jake Gyllenhaal returning to portray the ex-UFC star turned bouncer Elwood Dalton. McGregor sent his wishes to the film on his social media.

Congrats guys, wish you all the best of luck with it Conor McGregor via Instagram

[Spoiler Alert] McGregor’s character Knox is alive in the movie, and there is a chance that the Irishman will be in the sequel. However, McGregor stated acting was more difficult than fighting. Therefore, he won’t likely come back. Nevertheless, it’s certain McGregor would be active in Hollywood after the end of his fighting career.

McGregor revealed that his primary objective is UFC 303. Weeks before UFC 303, Dustin Poirier will fight Islam Makhachev for the undisputed lightweight title. Poirier is a big underdog in the fight, but if he wins, it could make it easier for the UFC to set up a fourth fight between Poirier and McGregor if he wins against Chandler.
