McGregor seems to be positive about his recovery and return. More importantly, he believes in Milligan’s process and her work. 

Heather Milligan is also the girlfriend of actor and former bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. Milligan and Arnold are dating each other since 2013. In addition to that, she has worked as medical personnel in the Arnold Strongman Classic, a strength competition created by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

However, this is not the first time for the Irishman working with Heather. As mentioned by Conor, she helped McGregor repair his ACL back in 2013. After he tore his ACL in a fight against Max Holloway at UFC Fight Night 26 in August 2013. 

Even at that time, he praised Heather for her work. Conor took the Twitter to write:

After the recovery, McGregor returned to UFC with a blast by defeating Diego Brandao with a first-round knockout. So, fight fans must be hoping for a similar comeback from the Notorious. If that happens, it would be wondrous to watch Mcgregor reinstate his stature in UFC.  

However, if he returns, who do you think Mystic Mac should fight in his comeback fight?
