‘Notorious’ seems to have recovered well, however. He’s constantly posting updates on his rehabilitation on social media.

» I’m back on my feet. It’s so good to be on your feet again. I am deep in my recovery. My surgeons, my doctors, my physiotherapists didn’t want me to come here. They wanted me to keep quiet and just do the work. ”Meanwhile, Dana White believes McGregor could get active again by the end of the year, provided he recovers over the next few months.
