DUBLIN - Conor MCGregor is ready to return to the Octagon. 'The Notorious' - its nickname - is preparing itself for maximum results. What is the latest condition for this controversial fighter?

McGregor's personal trainer revealed that the Irish fighter was in his best form and ready to fight again. 'The Notorious' will face Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone on January 18th. This is his first fight since being defeated by Khabil Nurmagomedov a year ago.

The coach, Owen Roddy, believes McGregor will return to a phenomenal performance like before being defeated by Nurmagomedov.

"I know he worked really hard (ahead of the fight against Cerrone), Roddy told MMA Junkie, Saturday, November 16.

"There is no official date for this fight yet, but Conor is training hard as you can see. He's in the best form," continued Roddy.

"He's ready to fight. I'm sure everyone is excited to see him back. If the opponent is 'Cowboy', this will be an interesting fight. I said this a few months ago: 'Cowboy' and Conor is a wonderful fight."

Roddy continued, the two fighters are great attackers. Although 'Cowboy' is phenomenal with his lower fighting style, it will certainly be a battle against each other. This is what fans have been waiting for.

"I just want to see Conor fight again. I think everyone wants to see Conor come back to the UFC, bring the audience into the fight."

McGregor will fight three times next year, apart from Cerrone, he will also face Jorge Masdival and finally Khabib Nurmagomedov for the second time.

Previously it was reported that Kevin Lee was waiting for McGregor's challenge. But, he won't be begging UFC officials to get the fight.
