Coach calls for December return for UFC star Conor McGregor: ‘He’s looking very sharp to me’

McGregor, a former undisputed featherweight champion and lightweight gold holder, has been out of action since he fractured his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss against Dustin Poirier back in 2021.
