"I count down the seconds until I can launch this weapon."

He tweeted, "As soon I am cleared for sparing I will be right back in."

Later, the Irishman added that he would be fully trained in mixed martial arts sparring by April. Easily!

SunSport was informed by McGregor's manager in October that McGregor's recovery has been going better than anticipated.

Audie Attar, chief of Paradigm Sports Management, said that he is ahead of schedule.

"We received our x-ray results back, but we also got our CT scan and ultrasound results.

"It's so healing to see the x-rays from my own perspective.

"He is walking now after only 10 and-a-half weeks of surgery.

"And he's doing s**t we don't want him do, like throwing the first pitch at the Cubs Game."

Mystic Mac informed his fans that he will be back to rock and roll as soon as his tibia heals.

He stated that the fibula was fully healed. The medial side is also developing nice callous.

It is important to wait for the bone to break down to the side of the tibia, where the larger break took place.

It's moving. "Patience will win this race.
