Conor McGregor kicking the heavy bag has fight fans concerned about opponent: “RIP Chandler’s legs”

Conor McGregor will be making his much-awaited UFC comeback against “Iron” Michael Chander in the main event of UFC 303, the International Fight Week PPV. John Kavanagh, McGregor’s head coach had already predicted how the fight would go against the three-time Bellator lightweight champion.

Now, McGregor has sent a stern message to his opponent with an Instagram video post that showed the Irishman working on the heavy bag with his left leg. For context, the left leg was the one that broke his in his trilogy fight with Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier. In the video, McGregor was seen hitting the bag with full power with the leg which has titanium plates inserted in it.

McGregor was a great kicker during his run to become the first simultaneous two-division champion in the UFC. However, after his boxing fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., the Irishman’s fighting style became more boxing-centric, and it proved detrimental in his rematch with Dustin Poirier.

Michael Chandler, his upcoming foe, is susceptible to leg kicks and thus has fight fans worried about the former UFC title challenger’s prospects against the “Notorious” Conor McGregor.
