UFC superstar Conor McGregor provided the latest update on his broken leg, saying that he’s “well ahead of schedule” in his recovery.<\/p>\n

McGregor, of course, shattered his leg against rival Dustin Poirier in their trilogy bout at UFC 264 in July. Not long after he broke his leg in the fight, McGregor had surgery on it. On Thursday, the Irishman took to his Instagram live to give fans an update as soon as he left the doctor’s office. Here’s what McGregor told his fans about what the doctors told him.<\/p>\n

\u201cScan went well. Scan went very well. To be back on the bike, I\u2019m back on the bike before he said I was going to be able to bear weight. I\u2019m rocking (and) well ahead of schedule. Let\u2019s keep it going. It was good news. Good news at the doc\u2019s,” McGregor said (h\/t MMAjunkie.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In addition to telling fans what the doctors told him, McGregor also answered a number of questions for them, including letting his fans in on how he is feeling a month after UFC 264.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this bone is back together, to be honest. The ankle is feeling great. I\u2019ve got me flip-flops on, I have. I\u2019m out of the boot. I\u2019ve got the flip-flops on, so that\u2019s a good sign. I\u2019m still jacked as well, bro. It ain\u2019t over. We\u2019re only warming up. Still fresh. Still untouched. You still can\u2019t get me,” McGregor said.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see how long Conor McGregor<\/a> is out of the Octagon. The early indications were that he could be out for over a year, but it appears as though McGregor is healing up faster than expected. Still, even though he is healing up fast, you can expect the UFC to make sure that its top fighter is 100 percent healthy before he fights again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
