Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor seems to be a revitalized man these days, and following his unplanned Sunday night Twitter Q&A with fans on social media, fan excitement is building ahead of his return to the cage.


McGregor's social media stint began when he responded to a fan who suggested that McGregor possessed the same sort of technique used by boxing star Gervonta Davis to knock out Leo Santa Cruz on Saturday night. The fan suggested that the McGregor of 2020 would knock out Floyd Mayweather with the technique.


An enthusiastic McGregor responded positively to the comment and decided that he was enjoying interacting with fans so much that he would kick off a Q&A, even starting off the impromptu chat with his own hashtag, #AskNotorious.

MCGREGOR ON... KNOCKING OUT FLOYD MAYWEATHER IN A REMATCH


"I walked Floyd onto mine as he rushed in with a back hand to my..?(to where ever he was aiming that back hand lol) Davis stepped out and in with his, fully planted. Way more devastating! My shot, though slightly smothered, was still a tasty fast shot. Happy at the time #learning"








"They won’t let me fight again in 2020. But yes, that boxing bout was 3 years ago now. I am infinite times better than I was then. No question! Excited to show! Only got 40 seconds out the last time."

MCGREGOR ON... FIGHTING AT 155 AND 170 POUNDS


"For sure! I will commit to the 155lb division for 2021 however. Some great matchups to be had here, as well as unfinished business. I will show the world once again who I am, and what I’m about. Trust that! 170 is in my thoughts also however. You know me for doubling up..."
