Conor McGregor has posted footage of himself in training for his UFC 303 fight against Michael Chandler - and it has got fans talking.
The Irishman is set to take part in a UFC fight for the first time in nearly three years when he faces Chandler on June 29 in Paradise, Nevada.
He hasn't fought inside the Octagon since a doctor's stoppage defeat to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, which saw 'Notorious' suffer a broken leg.

McGregor did feature in his own documentary, titled 'McGregor Forever' last year, and also played a leading role in the film 'Roadhouse', starring American actor Jake Gyllenhaal.
McGregor and Chandler were due to go face-to-face at a press event in Dublin on Monday, but the event was postponed by the UFC just hours before it was due to start.
Ariel Helwani then sparked concerns that the fight may be in doubt by reporting the UFC have 'sent out feelers' for potential replacements if the matchup can't go ahead.

However, the T-Mobile Arena - which is hosting UFC 303 - is still advertising McGregor vs Chandler as the show's main event, and there is no other indication that the fight might be in jeopardy.
Now, the Irishman has posted new training footage ahead of the fight - and fans all said the same thing in response.
Take a look below.
One wrote: "Conor's trolling, he's fighting I'm convinced."
