CONOR MCGREGOR has returned from his training camp in Portugal ahead of his scrap with Dustin Poirier.
The Notorious, 32, will step inside the octagon for the first time in over a year when he takes on the American at UFC 257 on January 23.
Looking in terrific shape, McGregor appeared relaxed as he posed in the airport touching down for Christmas.
He uploaded a series of snaps to Instagram alongside the caption: “I have nothing to declare except my genius.”
McGregor has spent almost two months in Portugal, putting a massive emphasis on sparring.
He had spent the summer in retirement, having grown frustrated on the sidelines amid the coronavirus pandemic.
But he’ll be huge favourite to inflict another defeat on Poirier as he did so in 2014.
McGregor won’t be short of offers if he beats Poirier with Youtuber Jake Paul already declaring he wants a slice of the action.
The loudmouth American beat Nate Robinson and then called out McGregor with a £37million fight offer.
McGregor refrained from responding to the x-rated call-out, in which Paul made derogatory comments about the Irishman’s fiancee, Dee Devlin.
And in another attempt to get the former two-division UFC champion’s attention Paul – whose older brother Logan will box Floyd Mayweather in February – sent a short and sweet direct message to The Notorious on Instagram.
Paul’s message read: “Take the fight pussy.”
Even Paul’s brother Logan admitted Jake was ‘f***ing dumb’ for going after McGregor.
