Conor McGregor started boxing training as part of his recovery.
He said that he has made steady progress while rehabbing and that the setback would be a minor bump on his long-storied road.
McGregor, 33, posted this Instagram picture: "Day 3 backboxing without any issue!"
"Soon, this injury will be a distant memory in my Martial Arts journey.
"No one can have a smooth road. But winning is about having a positive attitude, determination, and hard work.
"I am back, and it only gets better."

McGregor teased McGregor with a shot at Charles Oliveira's lightweight belt when he returns.
Oliveira, 32 years old, defends his belt against Justin Gaethje (33), and UFC legend Michael Bisping claimed McGregor can KO the Brazilian.
On Joe Rogan's podcast, Bisping, 43, stated that Conor's best days have probably passed. It's impossible to stay at the top for ever.
"I will tell you this: If there was a person you would put Charles Oliveira against in the top five, it would be him.
"Charles is quite hittable, and Conor is still very good at f***ing hit. He's quick and Charles is good.
"I just said, Conor could come back and beat Charles Oliveira to become champion again.
"That's -- I don’t think I can handle the world if it happens. Oh my god.
It might happen. He still has that left hand, he still has power and speed."
