CONOR McGREGOR showed off rapid hand speed in a training drill ahead of his UFC return against Dustin Poirier.
McGregor rematches the American – who he beat in 2014 – on January 23 in a lightweight headliner at UFC 257.
And the Irishman revealed he is firing on all cylinders in his latest Twitter upload.
McGregor shared a clip training alongside Cian Cowley, where he throws four straight punches followed by a hook, rolls twice under and comes back with four uppercuts with the same hook.
The 32-year-old repeats this over, looking quicker each time.
McGregor is currently out in Portugal preparing for his return with his family and team, renting a £10,000-a-week luxury villa in the Algarve.
It will be the southpaw’s first fight since the start of the year, when he knocked out Donald Cerrone, 37, in just 40 seconds.
McGregor spent the summer in retirement, having grown frustrated on the sidelines amid the coronavirus pandemic.
But he will make his come back against Poirier, 31, who he knocked out in one round at featherweight six years ago.
Since then, Poirier has moved up in weight and lost just twice in 13 fights, including against champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, 32.
But still UFC legend Bas Rutten believes his best chance of avenging defeat against McGregor would be to take the action to the floor.
Rutten told Submission Radio: “The Diamond, he grew a lot, he’s a completely different fighter. But then again, Conor did that as well.
“He’s got his great hands. Can he stop the takedowns?
“Because now everybody knows, well, let’s see, he lost four times, four times by way of submission.
“OK, so your best bet is to get him on the ground, that’s what you need to do.
“But that’s easier said than done, of course, because Conor’s distance is so good.”
