Conor McGregor, MMA's biggest star, refuses to be complacent as he heals from the broken leg he sustained at UFC 264.
In his Las Vegas trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier last month, the Irishman broke his left fibula and tibia. He lost via first round TKO.

McGregor, 33 years old, had surgery on the next day. He has continued to be active in Los Angeles as he recovers.
The UFC's poster child has posted a series of photos of himself doing light-intensity workouts to his social networks.
The Notorious posted a video on Wednesday morning of him performing a strenuous back workout to his Instagram account.
McGregor did nine perfect weighted pull-ups with narrow grips.
The caption he added to the video was: "Improvise. Adapt. "Overcome"
The workout was well-received by fans, who were quick to make comments. One said: "Let's go champ!"
Another one said, "Can't wait for you to watch me sleep someone again."
Another: "You'll return in no time champ champ!"
One commented: "The champ will reclaim the gold in 2022."
McGregor is the UFC's first two-weight champion. He is determined to recover from his horrific injury.
He told TMZ earlier this week that he was in recovery. We're recovering, sir.
"That's exactly what we are doing. It's going to take some recovery. It will take some recovery.
It's doing well, it's doing well. It's been great for three weeks and three days.
UFC supremo Dana White anticipates that the former featherweight and lightweight champion will return to the cage next month.
White stated that Conor has been out for one year during a appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.
"The doctor stated that it would take nine months for him to start training again. We're considering it a year.
"I don't even think about it."
McGregor (22-6), claimed that he went into his rubber match against Poirier with multiple stress fractures in his leg.
He stated that the leg was better than ever. I was hurt going into the fight. People ask me when the leg was broken.
"At what point did it break?" Dana White asks. Ask the UFC. Dr. Davidson is the UFC's head doctor.
"They knew that I had stress fractures in the leg before I went into that cage.
"There was some debate about taking the thing out, because I was sparring with no shin pads and I would kick my knee a few times.
"So, I suffered multiple stress fractures above my ankle in the shin bone and then I still have problems with my ankle after all these years of fighting."
