Conor McGregor confesses that he cannot kick to fullest potential yet
Conor McGregor has been out of action for around a year, nursing a broken leg that he suffered in his last outing against Dustin Poirier. The Irishman is currently vacationing in Europe in his Lamborghini superyacht, with his base being Majorca, Spain.
'The Notorious' has simulataneously been posting his training videos, although he is yet to provide a potential timeline for his return. The Dubliner also recently confessed that he is unable to kick to the "absolute level" with his injured leg just yet.
However, the Irishman is confident that his skillset is already ahead of every potential opponent he may face on his return to the octagon. The 34-year-old recently wrote on Instagram:
"I cannot yet kick to the absolute level I can kick it. But I’m aware of where I need to go. Awareness is half the battle won in combat. I have the awareness that still despite all I am levels above all of those in my radar space of future fighting opponents. By a wide margin. Already, as is. And also that I’ve a steel bar in one of them. And it’s like a whip. And I don’t give a f**k."
