McGregor fractured his tibia during the loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 back in July.
But the 33-year-old took to his to share a video of himself back in the gym and promised a comeback for the ages.
He wrote: First time back on the pads! What a buzz! Let’s go team @mcgregorfast!
“Like my good friend @schwarzenegger says, ‘I’ll be back, b!’ Back with a vengeance!
“Thank you to all my doctors and my team for getting me this far so soon after surgery! There is work to be done but doing work is what I’m known for.
“Strap yourselves in for the greatest comeback in sports history! #champchampppvbillionaireking”
