The video comes a year on from the devastating leg break injury he sustained in 2021. McGregor suffered the injury during his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier. He was hoping to overcome the TKO loss he suffered to 'The Diamond' last January. Towards the end of a fierce first round, the 'Notorious' star stepped back awkwardly after landing a kick and crashed down in agony. The bout was waved off and Poirier was awarded a TKO victory.

Going under the knife has forced McGregor out of action ever since. The 34-year-old has documented much of his recovery on social media and the latest teasing video of McGregor in full-contact sparring likely means fans can expect to see the Irishman fight in some capacity next year.

Translated to English, Topuria replied to the footage McGregor shared on his Twitter account and said: "It looks good on him! Athletic, sticking hands, kicks. I should go back to someone normal.
