Top Pound-for-Pound Star Reveals Post-Fight Plans with Conor McGregor

A top pound-for-pound star hints at an unlikely training camp pairing

The past few weeks have seen Conor McGregor back in headlines, but this time for the right reasons. The former two-division champion has been sharing training footage that quickly went viral, sparking both excitement and criticism. Many noted that his speed seems to have dipped and questioned whether he’s losing a step. Still, what can’t be denied is McGregor’s effort—he’s been putting in consistent work, is officially in the UFC drug-testing pool, and all signs are pointing toward a massive return at the White House card in July 2026.

Adding intrigue to his preparation, McGregor may not be doing the work alone. Pound-for-pound contender and relentless grappler Merab Dvalishvili recently revealed in an interview with Full Send MMA that he plans to train with McGregor in the near future.
