However, now ‘The Notorious’ is working on his weak side for his return. And he has improved drastically, per Sonnen. “Pure wrestling. So he is in a stance. He is on his feet, he is bent over. His knees are bent… He has got his head positioned. He looked like a seasoned wrestler,” Sonnen said.

“Conor McGregor is out there on a weekend pushing and pulling. Holding stance and he is wrestling. Guys, he is coming back,” Sonnen added.

The Irishman is a fantastic striker. There is no doubt about that. Now, he appeared to have improved his fighting prowess by incorporating wrestling, which pleased even Sonnen, a well-known wrestler.

Therefore, it is easy to say that McGregor will surely bring all the heat on his big UFC return. Even better, we could witness a former champion return to his winning ways.
