The 34-year-old has been keeping his fans informed throughout his recovery process, and things are continuing to be the same now that he is back in the gym.
In a recent social media post, McGregor demonstrated how he felled an unidentified opponent during a sparring match in Dublin using what he claimed to be a novel technique.
