Conor McGregor’s broken leg looks have made a full recovery after the Irishman was seen dishing out some brutal kicks in sparring.
McGregor, 34, has not fought since July 2021, when he lost his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier after the Irishman suffered a serious leg break in the first round.
Since making a recovery from the injury, McGregor has featured in this year’s The Ultimate Fighter series as one of the team’s coaches.
And the full extent of his healing has been showcased during a recent filming session for the series – where McGregor showcased some impressive kicks.
In the clip, which appeared on Twitter, McGregor can be seen landing a clean strike combo before unleashing a brutal strike to the body with his left leg.

The ‘Notorious’ suffered a horrific leg break during his bout with Dustin Poirier in 2021
Instantly, his sparring partner – which was Landon Quinones – was sent crashing to the canvas in a heap of pain.
Despite the agony Quinones found himself in, McGregor could be seen hovering over his counterpart – who winced in pain on the ground.
Fans were quick to point out it was the same leg which suffered the horrific injury and which has kept him sidelined for two years.
In his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier in July 2021, McGregor was dealt a brutal defeat after breaking his leg in the first-round of the bout.
It meant McGregor suffered a back-to-back loss for the first time in his UFC career and was dealt a third defeat in his last four outings.
And, despite his failure to register with US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) last month, there is optimism that McGregor will still make a comeback after he sent out a Tweet on Saturday night.
In a now-deleted post, McGregor told fans that he will make his return to the octagon in ‘December’.
