Conor McGregor plans to go back to the training regime that saw him make an explosive debut in the UFC.
The Dubliner won the 'Knockout of the Night' award when he stopped Marcus Brimage on April 2013.
Eight years later, McGregor is looking to get his UFC career back on track after two consecutive losses to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier.
With a rematch with Poirier confirmed for UFC 264 on July 10, McGregor has outlined his plan to best prepare for the fight.
"Today in 2013 I weighed in for my UFC debut. What a journey! It would become my 12th KO in MMA competition.
"Dustin Poirier would then become my 12th first round KO in MMA competition. This next fight will be my 12th UFC main event. Rare company! Proper Twelve baby! All day!
"My UFC debut I found out 9 weeks out. I took a week to get right from not training/partying, and then 8 weeks out I moved to my sisters ]apartment] which was close to the gym.
"I woke up, trained, walked back to apartment, ate my meals and rested, trained again, back to apt, sleep, repeat.
"Double skills work. I also didn’t take rest days unless I absolutely had to. Not one. Not even a Sunday. I will take this approach again for my comeback fight.
"I didn’t become UFC champ champ with this method but I did become UFC 145 champion. Also the cage warrior champ champ."
