Video – Conor McGregor wraps up armbar as new black belt ahead of 2024 return to the UFC

Gearing up for a potential return to the UFC next year, former duel-weight champion, Conor McGregor has been polishing his grappling game ahead of an earmarked fight with Michael Chandler – as he shows of his newly-minted Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from active competition since he headlined UFC 264 back in July 2021, fracturing his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Dustin Poirier.

Expected to make a return to the UFC early next year, McGregor has officially returned to the USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) earlier this month, and recently provided numerous blood and urine sample to anti-doping administers on his Lamborghini yacht.
