Conor McGregor has vowed to return in his first appearance since his ill-fated comeback.

McGregor's return to the UFC lasted all of 69 seconds last weekend when his knee gave way as he threw his first kick of his fight with Max Holloway at UFC 329. McGregor, who turned 38 on Tuesday, now faces a significant spell on the sidelines after confirming he will require surgery.

And he has posted a video to social media showing him with wife Dee Devlin tasting the fighter's new range of energy drinks. McGregor then turns the camera on himself and says: "We'll be back". He goes on to say: In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Lets go.

McGregor has only one fight left on his UFC deal which is contracted to to take place by April - if he is fit enough. Earlier the Irishman said on social media: "Surgery. Prehab. Return to martial arts practice. Go again. Final fight of the contract. Please God! My faith is unconditional and I am thankful I get to prove it! My lifestyle changes are permanent and not just until. I am thankful I get to prove it.

"I am in Sin City and remain completely devoid of all sin. I will not open that door nor crack its seal! I am already back to collecting wins! In Jesus name I pray! Church was intense today, my heart is heavy but through Christ my mind is STRONG! I am so grateful to see my family fall more in love with God each day!

"I am a child of God. I am a friend of God. God makes a way for me where there seems to be no way. I am not a victim of my circumstances, I overcome them. God is at work in me to will and to work his good pleasure! My youth is being renewed like the eagles! In Jesus I am thoroughly loved, cherished, adored. I walk in divine health. I live under supernatural protection. All things work out for my good! All things are possible for me because I am a believer! I trust in You Lord! Show me Your way. Thank You God."
