Conor McGregor UFC News: Photos show Notorious still training despite hand injury

Conor McGregor is still training hard for his UFC comeback, despite picking up a hand injury.

The former two-weight world champion is aiming for an octagon return this year, and isn't letting a cast get in the way of his preperations.

He posted a photo on Instagram last week with the caption "where there's a will there's a way", showing him in Crumlin Boxing Club, and has now shared another.

The Irish UFC star can be seen cycling on an exercise bike in the garden of his home with one of his children in a stroller next to him, with a caption that reads "Improvise. Adapt. Overcome!" with a shoutout to his fitness progress McGregor FAST.

He had posted previously about the cast and said: "Intense training and sparring sessions, I will always push it to the limits.
"This comes off and I push on!
"The Proper Don.
"Nothing will stop me."

Meanwhile, Dana White has suggested that Conor McGregor can now "sit back" and pick and choose when he wants to fight. 

The Notorious was last seen in the Octagon last October, but that was his first UFC bout in almost two years with a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather coming in between.

And UFC President White has hinted that McGregor may not fight all that frequently from here on in.

He told ESPN: “What did I say leading up to the Mayweather-McGregor fight? [That he may never fight again]. Did I not say that?

"And how many times has he fought since then? Once. Conor is in a very unique position as a fighter.

“He has tons of money. His whiskey business is off the charts. Conor now has the ability to be very calculated, sit back, and play the game the way he wants to."
