Conor McGregor posted a new video today showing that his knee surgery has been completed and he is now on the road to recovery. His comeback has officially started, not that anyone is happy with the way his last fight went. Maybe he will redeem himself next year, but I don’t put high hopes on that dream.

For whatever reason that injury was there, I think in full body contact sports there is hardly a way at that age to fully recovery both mentally and physically. You can see football players drop at least one level after severe injuries and I can only imagine how much trust you would lose in your body when an injury happens the way it happened to McGregor. It's different afterwards and he already had that broken foot years ago. If he comes back, everyone will be counting down every second and then every round his body is still intact and the biggest problem about it is, he will do the same most likely.

Since the Internet was full of those analytical videos trying to figure out whether this injury existed before the fight or not, was there ever a reasonable verdict from a reliable source?

My final picks for the card:

Nurgozhay inside distance — 2.02
Gamrot ML — 2.11
Sousa KO/TKO — 2.66

All three have value at these odds in my system.

I agree with you. Because in the first match after a long injury, he gets seriously injured again. And I don't see the stamina and power like before. But I want him to return to his previous form. At least one match he fights according to his prime. I miss his aggressive left hand move a lot. But I doubt whether he will regain his previous speed after overcoming this injury. Even then, if he can prove himself one last time and win the match with that famous left-hand strike, it will be the best comeback in UFC history.

And I think his fighting strategy should be changed a bit. The way he used to fight aggressively and with over-confidence in the beginning, it would scare his opponent a little bit in the beginning, which was one of the reasons why they lost. And as a result of his bad losses in the last matches, his opponent doesn't think he is that strong anymore. These negative thoughts about him will continue to increase in the future, which will make it more difficult for him to recover from his injury and play a match again. And if he decides to start the match without being fully fit, then like many fans said last time that he started the fight despite being unfit only for business reasons, if he can't fight well in the future, everyone will say the same thing.

I am following your predictions. Good luck mate.

I was surprised when Conor returned from a major leg fracture. None of the fighters who sustained the same injury could make a successful comeback. He tore his ACL and meniscus without landing a single punch in his last fight.  

I won't be surprised if he returns and since he is able to generate revenue, UFC will allow him to return but he can no longer perform anywhere close to his old level because of all the injuries he has sustained.

Lets say in a hypothetical situation, even if Conor McGregor's camp knew about the injury before the fight, they wouldn't release the details because the commission won't let an injured fighter compete. We can only speculate now.
