Conor McGregor UFC News: Notorious trains with Cian Cowley ahead of potential UFC return

Conor McGregor is still preparing for a potential UFC comeback, despite there being no date announced as of yet.

The Notorious took to Instagram today to share a photo of him sparring with SBG Ireland gymmate Cian Cowley in the sun, presumably while on a family holiday in Portugal.

Cowley, 26, who also fights in the Brave CF and owns the Thai Boxing 'Warrior Gym' in Dublin, is a long-time friend and training partner of McGregor.

The Dubliner spent a night behind bars with The Notorious in April of 2018 after the pair were involved in an incident involving a bus carrying McGregor's rival Khabib Nurmgaomedov and a number of other UFC fighters after a press conference.

He most recently lost to Maciek Gierszewski at Brave 24 in London to take his pro MMA record to 2-3, and is likely preparing for a return of his own to the cage.

McGregor has posted a number of family photos from his holiday with Dee Devlin and their children Conor Jr and Croia.

The Notorious shared the snaps on Instagram, commenting: "Family holiday️ #Godbless."

In one of the pictures, Conor Jr appears to copying his dad by raising his fist in the air.

The UFC star also posted a snap of him holding his baby daughter Croia, saying: "The light of my life."
