Connor has always put the work in against lesser opponents. He loves beating up bums. It's against quality opposition that he has a problem against. I thought the guy he was sparring with was Brendan Loughnane for a second there but na, it's just some Irish bum that's easy work for Connor. He doesn't like to challenge himself by getting quality opposition into the gym, he just beats up bums to fuel his ego. Did the other fighter even land a single punch? This sparring partner is definitely not adequate to the level of opposition Connor will be facing in the cage. Still though, it's a step up from pensioners in a bar.
I've always loved the uppercut combos he throws. He does seem slower now than he once was, but thats to be expected with aging and putting on more muscle. I hope he returns with a bang
I thought the same.. nice to see him using alot of kicks again.. i dont love how heavy forward he is with his head though. Its working with the head gear and big gloves but if he carrys that to the cage it could spell trouble
This definitely wasn’t a glimpse of his old style. This was 100% his new style. Standing taller instead of staying low and long, bobbing and weaving instead of distance control, nothing about this was similar to his old style at all. I really wish he would go back to the old style of fighting; it used his strengths to his advantage much better than this modern boxing style he’s incorporated.
@@illmat1cI honestly believe people reinjure themselves more from hesitating due to having that injury opposed from just training regularly with proper recovery
I love to see that Connor’s still got it, just the one thing that’s changed because of the boxing is that he seems a lot more flat footed now, if he’d go back to the in-and-out fencing style he used to fight with then I think he’d become champ again and he probably would have beat Diamond (of course excusing the ankle break as well)
Because the other guy was stood right in front of him doing nothing while he threw a 3 punch headkick combination. That would never happen in a real fight with no gear on in the UFC.
@@TheStarBazaar Yes and he's supposed to be training for a fight, not his ego. That combination along with his 720 tornado kicks unfortunately will never ever land but glad his crowd enjoyed it.
@@Disinfo321 Im sorry - that 3 punch headkick combination wouldnt work in a 'real fight' in the ufc? Guess you haven't watched UFC very long. Such stupid people. Why don't you go check out Cerrones finishing sequence against Rick Story. I could literally sit here and rhyme them off all day, but I think that one gets the point across. Don't be an armchair quarterback unless you have at least the slightest knowledge of the game
@mikimiyazakihes literally known for his powerful Left not his perfect timing left he just happens to be a wizrd with timing to execute the left. Imagine not knowing sports and acting like you do wait its MMA
What I’ve noticed in Connor’s sparring footage’s, is that anyone who spars him looks timid to actually go hard and is afraid to clip him and embarrass him … just in my opinion
Anyone that goes hard against a counter striker is a mistake they’ve probably watched him spar against aggressive fighters he’s either knocked them spark out or put them down bad probably the reason why they’re timid he’s find those small spaces to catch them with shots even when they’re careful
people forget that Conor is a high level mixed martial artist and former champion still in his physical prime. Do you think gym sparring partners can actually pose a threat? It's not like he's sparring top 5 of the UFC
Looks good, happy he's throwing kicks and looks like he's working on checking thr low leg kicks, the competition has gotten so much better now, but hope he can still compete if he so chooses
Ever since he lost to Dustin the first time I've been doubtful on him being able to return and perform well but this is the first footage that is convincing to me that he's been training properly after all these years. He forgot about his bjj and his wrestling just like Usman the 2 of them became boxing oriented and were found out hard.
Connor really needs people on his team to actually push him. The guys he's sparring with here are just being mobile heavy bags. You don't need "yes men" in sparring.
Good leg checking. He is very sharp. Like I said before, don't like the things he did in the past but he can fight and has the motivation to keep grinding even tho he has all the money in the world. I can respect that. Can't wait to see him fight Chandler and hopefully he has improved his skills.
Respect that after he hit the oblique kick too hard he immediately says sorry and stops the round - some people will just hit you with shit like that feel Their ego and keep going
Look man. He'll always still look good. In his prime he was one of the best strikers in the world. People love to shit on him but he was a beast. Hopefully he makes a comeback as its better for the sport. The sport needs Conor
You can clearly see he’s holding back. He doesn’t want to hurt the sparring partners, and is actually respectful of them. Too many people go into those sparring wars which aren’t good for anyone (of course there are times for hard spars). That’s why he’s not THAT fast… as with more speed usually comes more power/more chance to hurt someone. Not sure about you guys, but I’m hella excited to see him come back! He’s clearly having fun with it and is driven to come back and make it happen! We might see another legendary run!
Lol! Definitely holding back with those headkicks, a knee stomp/oblique kick and throwing hayemakers vs semi pros and dropping somebody with 16oz gloves on, those headkicks would drop you if you didn't block it. What is it with the cope in all the comments, just say the truth you don't need to lie. Only thing holding him back was the fatigue from rounds of sparring if we're going to be objective.
Your speed comment was just... moronic. What more do you want from him? Sprinting at the opponent? He was teep kicking, head kicking, body kicking, and throwing his left hand as quick as he could with 16oz gloves on and some fatigue.
@@Disinfo321 None of these guys are semi pros, you don't get flown out to Dubai for a training camp if you're just some guy. Also the only bad sparring etiquette was the oblique kick he apologised for. The headkicks were clearly pulled (not to mention he has shin pads on) and the only reason your man got dropped was because he threw a naked leg kick and dove into a straight punch with his chin in the air. Compared to the videos of other pros (Strickland, Cerrone...) actually flatlining guys at a local gym this is pretty damn tame.
Finally, walking the talk! He always talked big but always put in the work to back it up. People think he fell off since he took the Floyd fight but he still worked hard until his injury. It looks like he's finally getting serious after that sexual assault allegation a few months back. Hope he gets the comeback he and his fans deserve.

@@JimBeatman telling from your comment you are clearly a connoisseur and deserve to be in a UFC PPV event... Us causals will watch on and cheer for you.
his ground level was actually pretty top notch for a striker - did surprisely well against khabib when most of his previous opponents got ragdolled on the ground by him. anyone will look like an ameteur when against a top level wrestler like khabib
The blend and incorporation of all his new found styles looks promising, the tighter closer Thai stance to mitigate low kicks and takedowns, along with the TKD/karate bladed stance to throw the wild kicks and probing hand strikes
I hope he comes back and utilizes a full toolset. The guy can win the first 2-3 rounds against pretty much any lw with his own skillset. He just needs to make adjustments in that 3rd round so that he doesnt just give the round up if he's slowing down or if theyre figuring him out a bit. He's got to do like he did in the diaz fight. Add some clinch work in the 3rd and 4th and if youre up in the rounds they have to come to you
@@Tyrannosaurus_5000 chandlers too predictable and low fight iq, he tries to out strike strikers as a wrestler I BET MY LIFE he gets dropped within 20 seconds I GUARANTEE IT!
I love Connor but it’s crazy. He doubled in size so quick.! I don’t know Martial arts I don’t know the bodybuilding area but shit in size fucking crazy man! He’s got to be a genius in this area I believe in him so it’s gotta be that!!
This is not real mma even his training partners are yes men that give conor the sparring that makes him feel like karate kid .the lil twinkle toe move he was doing to go forward is HILARIOUS ...😅😂 what a character this dude is ...
You’ve obviously never done any martial arts the sparring partner is throwing back but McGregor has great distance management he always has, mix ups are great but sure you give advice sitting on your sofa after you shift at tesco
@@joeslowgon4096 yeah there throwing back a lil bit , they have to.make conor think hes that good lmao... if you think his sparring partners are kilkers but his skill is just that good your delusional,, hes like 30lbs bigger than these guys and it looks like theyre doing a defensive drill n only allowed one kick and jab at a time gtfoh 😆🤣
2:01.....Conor better watch that coming forward with two quick left jabs then dipping his head down to the right as he comes up for that sort of low to high straight right hand punch upwards. His left hand as he does this drops a bit and this opening is how Porier caught Conor with a right hand. Im a huge Conor fan and Conor looks in great shape and his leg looks strong and i no very little about fighting techniques. Im just pointing out what i see and I want my boy Conor to succeed on another historic run of wins in the UFC!!
It's not about money tho it's about legacy, he's dreaming of one last run at the belt, probably the 170 strap to do what no one else has done before and then bounce
yeah and more active with his shots, in his recent fights he was not throwing that much to land all the shots while he just should throw just to throw sometimes you know
@@beko_bekovic Maybe because his WHOLE issue has been gassing after 7 minutes? Why do you think he beat (arguably) nate in the rematch? It's because he was a lot more reserved and "efficient with his energy". All these spinning kicks were useless here and have always been useless in all of his UFC fights and just gas him out.
@@Disinfo321 agreed. But not everyone is Nate Diaz tho. Mcgregor was successful against fighters with regular chins(not like Nate's) when he was active, threw more and also various
@@beko_bekovic Ok yes, I'll agree with you Mcgregor should come out and gas himself out throwing volume and spinning kicks which he made a conscious effort to stop doing, ok. And you're right everybody isn't Nate Diaz, which is why Mcgregor shouldn't throw volume like Nate Diaz. He's a counter striker and that's that.
He’s working and this is by far the best he’s looked. People need to remember it’s a hill and that takes climbing. This right here makes me think damn he’s actually going to be sharp asf in a few months.
Damn he’s still doing more of a boxing approach that he started after boxing Floyd. That sucks, he should have been less focused on boxing and more of how he was in 2015 and 2016. He went back to it a little bit in the last fight but than broke his leg. But it looks like he went back from that again and focused more on a square up boxing stance.
when the cameras come out in practice spars.... it's "make conor look good" time. at the very least, it's encouraging to see all the bouncing and kicks after such a gruesome injury. MMA is more fun with an active conor, so I'm rooting for a solid return.
Nice to see an actual gritty footage. Folks are clearly decent fighters with good skillsets, and Conor looks pretty solid against them. Even reminded me of his prime days. He's still got that dog in him.
he butchers chandler at this point i'd rather see him take a stab at that welterweight strap he's a bit small compared to most of the top 15 guys at WW but he has some good and exciting matchups, maybe wonderboy for his comeback to test the waters and see where he's at in the division top 5 is too dangerous size and matchup wise
There was a couple times it looked like his leg was bothering him and then it looked almost like he was doing all those crazy movements to try and prove it wasn't bothering him which is you watch after he stops that takedown attempt he starts raising his knees almost to his chest and I think that's why cause his leg bothered him from hopping on just it backwards to stop the takedown.
He did not drop him intentionally as he was just going light/ training spar. He has definitely the skills and standup advantage over chandler and with his bigger physique it’s going to be a good fight. Chandlers grit and explosiveness though is going to be his advantage over Connor.😁
was a big fan back in the day but to be honest fame and money have seemed to kill his hunger as fighter, lately its only been just trying to stay in the spot light and alot of barking, but would be great to see him have a come back..
He gets starched by Mike Perry , Dustin or Gaetghe or Chandler. Tsarukyan iron boards him in 2. Bobby Green wins on Decision. That flat footed walk forward bullshit got him a overhand right in the Khabib fight. His prime days are OVER
He’s still got skills but is just a bit bigger and slower than he used to be
He’s definitely not slower. He has been doing very heavy lifting. He’s got his quickness back.

I hope he comes back, makes it (whatever that means) and retires well on top of his persona. I wish well to everyone
I hope he comes back and utilizes a full toolset. The guy can win the first 2-3 rounds against pretty much any lw with his own skillset. He just needs to make adjustments in that 3rd round so that he doesnt just give the round up if he's slowing down or if theyre figuring him out a bit. He's got to do like he did in the diaz fight. Add some clinch work in the 3rd and 4th and if youre up in the rounds they have to come to you
Chandler will smoke him guaranteed.
@@Tyrannosaurus_5000you bet your life on it?
@@frostyglaze484 I'll bet a few dollars for sure :D
@@Tyrannosaurus_5000 chandlers too predictable and low fight iq, he tries to out strike strikers as a wrestler I BET MY LIFE he gets dropped within 20 seconds I GUARANTEE IT!
0:48 Conor with the nasty oblique 😶🌫️
I love Connor but it’s crazy. He doubled in size so quick.! I don’t know Martial arts I don’t know the bodybuilding area but shit in size fucking crazy man! He’s got to be a genius in this area I believe in him so it’s gotta be that!!
Looking fucking great his back 🤙❤️
Can't wait for Chandler's fight, its gonna be entertaining for sure whatever happens.
His footwork looks improved
I wonder how the leg will hold up - I don't know of any other athletes that would allow such impact to a support structure. I hope it is well.
Too slow for a lightweight, too small for welterweight. Conor needs that 165 division
I see stifness and weakness in that division 😂😂😂
Oblique kicks in sparring 💀
Fr, why he throwing spinning kicks and head kicks too? Clearly an ego spar
This is not real mma even his training partners are yes men that give conor the sparring that makes him feel like karate kid .the lil twinkle toe move he was doing to go forward is HILARIOUS ...😅😂 what a character this dude is ...
You’ve obviously never done any martial arts the sparring partner is throwing back but McGregor has great distance management he always has, mix ups are great but sure you give advice sitting on your sofa after you shift at tesco
I was thinking that if he hired killers to train with this would be so different
@@joeslowgon4096 yeah there throwing back a lil bit , they have to.make conor think hes that good lmao... if you think his sparring partners are kilkers but his skill is just that good your delusional,, hes like 30lbs bigger than these guys and it looks like theyre doing a defensive drill n only allowed one kick and jab at a time gtfoh 😆🤣
0:27 men i fucking love that punch, i keep on putting on repeat
2:01.....Conor better watch that coming forward with two quick left jabs then dipping his head down to the right as he comes up for that sort of low to high straight right hand punch upwards. His left hand as he does this drops a bit and this opening is how Porier caught Conor with a right hand. Im a huge Conor fan and Conor looks in great shape and his leg looks strong and i no very little about fighting techniques. Im just pointing out what i see and I want my boy Conor to succeed on another historic run of wins in the UFC!!
There he is 🍀
He really don't need to fight anymore with that amount of money and even after that Injury.. but look at him... such a warrior 👏🏻
It's not about money tho it's about legacy, he's dreaming of one last run at the belt, probably the 170 strap to do what no one else has done before and then bounce
I am as big a Connor fan as anyone but time eventually takes everything away from us and it has taken away the Connor that we used to love.💀
To be clear, you're not trying to drop your training partners.
He looks good, but definitely doesn’t look like old Conor. Go watch him fight Max Holloway. It’s a night and day difference
This style is what we miss, fluid movement, creativity, timing, precision, let’s see if he brings it back🤞🔥 let’s go Conor!
yeah and more active with his shots, in his recent fights he was not throwing that much to land all the shots while he just should throw just to throw sometimes you know
@@beko_bekovic Maybe because his WHOLE issue has been gassing after 7 minutes? Why do you think he beat (arguably) nate in the rematch? It's because he was a lot more reserved and "efficient with his energy". All these spinning kicks were useless here and have always been useless in all of his UFC fights and just gas him out.
@@Disinfo321 agreed. But not everyone is Nate Diaz tho. Mcgregor was successful against fighters with regular chins(not like Nate's) when he was active, threw more and also various
@@beko_bekovic Ok yes, I'll agree with you Mcgregor should come out and gas himself out throwing volume and spinning kicks which he made a conscious effort to stop doing, ok.
And you're right everybody isn't Nate Diaz, which is why Mcgregor shouldn't throw volume like Nate Diaz. He's a counter striker and that's that.
Nice man great job Conor
dropping guys without head gear while wearing head gear and posting it to the internet pretty lame
Damn, I mean, he has to be coming back sooner than we all expect, right? His conditioning looks like he's sparring during a fight camp here.
He’s working and this is by far the best he’s looked. People need to remember it’s a hill and that takes climbing. This right here makes me think damn he’s actually going to be sharp asf in a few months.
The only ones that he can drop is his sparring partners 😂
While you cant even make it to the event because you are a jealous no one 🤣🤣
His in and out movement is gone. It's over.
ok 💀
It’s annoying when a sparring partner won’t react to strikes cuz of shinguards, but unloads like it’s a real fight
Seriously, he threw a lateral knee kick in sparring. Disgusting. 0:48
The brother throwing oblique kicks in sparring
Damn he’s still doing more of a boxing approach that he started after boxing Floyd. That sucks, he should have been less focused on boxing and more of how he was in 2015 and 2016.
He went back to it a little bit in the last fight but than broke his leg. But it looks like he went back from that again and focused more on a square up boxing stance.
0:47 that down kick is deadly, breaking legs in a fight that is. Love seeing Conor flowing again
It’s a dick move to throw in sparring. Hence why he apologized.
when the cameras come out in practice spars.... it's "make conor look good" time. at the very least, it's encouraging to see all the bouncing and kicks after such a gruesome injury. MMA is more fun with an active conor, so I'm rooting for a solid return.
Conor looking like 2014 Conor but 3 weight classes and some juice bigger
Nice to see an actual gritty footage. Folks are clearly decent fighters with good skillsets, and Conor looks pretty solid against them. Even reminded me of his prime days. He's still got that dog in him.
he butchers chandler at this point
i'd rather see him take a stab at that welterweight strap
he's a bit small compared to most of the top 15 guys at WW but he has some good and exciting matchups, maybe wonderboy for his comeback to test the waters and see where he's at in the division
top 5 is too dangerous size and matchup wise
There was a couple times it looked like his leg was bothering him and then it looked almost like he was doing all those crazy movements to try and prove it wasn't bothering him which is you watch after he stops that takedown attempt he starts raising his knees almost to his chest and I think that's why cause his leg bothered him from hopping on just it backwards to stop the takedown.
Maybe some exhibition fight but no more UFC for him. Have to stay active in this sport.
Having the upright stance without good wrestling and grappling defense is wild to me.
He did not drop him intentionally as he was just going light/ training spar. He has definitely the skills and standup advantage over chandler and with his bigger physique it’s going to be a good fight. Chandlers grit and explosiveness though is going to be his advantage over Connor.😁
was a big fan back in the day but to be honest fame and money have seemed to kill his hunger as fighter, lately its only been just trying to stay in the spot light and alot of barking, but would be great to see him have a come back..
This is bullshit. His sparing partner barely attack him. All for a camera. Connor was really good years ago. I just can't see him winning any more.
He gets starched by Mike Perry , Dustin or Gaetghe or Chandler. Tsarukyan iron boards him in 2. Bobby Green wins on Decision. That flat footed walk forward bullshit got him a overhand right in the Khabib fight. His prime days are OVER
Habib not only finish the fight he finished his whole career.
Interesting content. Keep up the good work on your channel. Regards, WR4K.
2:38
conor hittin the white fang is wild lmfaoooo
This will be one hell of a documentary
droping sparring partners is all he can do these days, what a pitty
A sparring partner who isn't allowed to hit you because he'd get fired and probably sued.
It inspiring to see conor moving like this after a gruesome break true warrior wish him the best
