Returning to the UFC
The Notorious is set to make his long-awaited return to the octagon next year after re-entering the promotion's drug testing pool.
Training at elevation
McGregor plans to train at high elevation for his upcoming fight to improve his cardiovascular endurance.
Boosting aerobic capacity
Training at elevation can enhance an athlete's aerobic capacity, oxygen flow, and lactic acid tolerance.
Managing energy reserves
McGregor has struggled with managing his energy in the past, particularly in fights with opponents like Nate Diaz and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Improved endurance
The Irishman has shown improvements in managing his endurance, but fatigue still played a role in his previous fights.
Return date set
McGregor's bout with Chandler was initially expected to happen this year but was postponed until 2024 due to his absence from the USADA pool.
April return
If McGregor re-enrolls by the end of the week, he is on track to return in April, which aligns with UFC 300.
No plans yet
While McGregor's return is highly anticipated, UFC president Dana White stated he has no plans for McGregor beyond his fight with Chandler.
Long-awaited comeback
McGregor has not stepped foot inside the octagon since breaking his leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier over two years ago.
