all i want from mcgregor is to spar with other ufc fighters, no matter what he never reached his peak by staying at SBG

[@The_Eagle_Official]

he doesn't wanna do that any more because he still got PTSD from tapping out to khabib

[@gabemorales3118]

Maybe I’m wrong but I feel like there’s a lot of benefit to sparring with guys who aren’t in the ufc. I imagine it gives fighters the confidence to experiment and work on things they normally wouldn’t try for fear of getting hurt.

[@SupremeLoui]

He should go back to his old style! 💪

[@gabemorales3118]

He’s only added 20 pounds of muscle. And slow?! They are light sparring and even then he’s nowhere near slow.

[@Rujewitblood]

The karate style Conor is overrated af and inefficient, can't even beat Nate. Slow ploddy counter boxing Conor was the best version, the one that fought Eddie was pretty much all boxing. Conor problem is not karate style, it's attacking aggressively instead of countering

[@gabemorales3118]

From my own very limited experience with training, I’ve found that you learn very quickly to treat everyone you meet with respect because you never know who’s standing across from you. That unassuming person that looks unfit might actually be a world champion capable of seriously hurting you if they wanted to. It’s easy to be kind and respectful when you’re getting humbled in the gym everyday.

[@PrestonPierson]

Round 2 TKO by mcGregor

[@devinburkett9036]

Conor is about to come back a straight up *MENACE* and destroy the lightweight division after he Knocks Out Chinler in the first exchange!

[@DESTROYER01.]

His kicks were always clean, but the important thing is that his partner should really play, yes, he does striking training, but he needs to do more MMA training, especially his takedown defense.

[@mitch-lawless]

Dude, he's known for having some of the best takedown defense in the game...

[@Weeks25]

I doubt he forgot his takedown defense skills… which is very good. His takedown defense against Khabib was better than anyone else Khabib fought while champ.

Karate style conor >>> boxing style conor

[@Who_care_what-i-think]

His biggest down turn was going boxing heavy it changed everything his stance the amount of kicks he threw. That was a huge part of what made him so lethal . Boxing maywether was the start of his down fall. If he wants any chance of coming back and getting a win he needs to go back to his original stance and style that got him to the top as well

[@blazecarr]

People saying he's slow. Person hes sparring is afraid to hurt him. They are both pulling their punching, its good sparring. just Conor is only one making contact tho. Conor is more powerful now. Chandler is strong too. Both skilled. Yall get positive and enjoy a great fight.

He just needs to use his counter game and he can probably put chandler away in round 1 or 2 because the way chandler swings is a lot like eddie

​@@Ogaoga69There is such a thing called the middle. It is in between high and low.

[@jocoolshow]

⁠@@johnboylan3832 Bros got high level speed, strength, athleticism and skills to the point where he has dominant rounds against world class fighters but has low level fight IQ 😭 Chandler can either ragdoll Conor or the ground or get some explosive ko/TKO but it’s just as likely he could run into a counter punch and get slumped

[@MMAVoodoo]

​@@jocoolshow he's also 38. He's gonna be slow

that's aliveria too, would you call him low mid too? Literally had a choke and didn't finish just to get finished. Or Dustin? Or even someone like Usman, who knows he needed to up his pace against Chim but didn't and afterwards was talking "oh I started too slow" 🤷‍♂️ ​@@jocoolshow
