Silverback sparring

[goatmcgregor]

Is McGregor currently in league of his own? He looks phenomenal. That kick in that sparring video is brutal.. Might it be that ferocious technique that is going to end Rafaels era as a champion?

 

[The real JG]

Conor is just the greatest fight r ever.

 

[Frode Falch]

Do you know what a brutal kick is?

That was a nice playfull fancy kick. Nothing wrong with that at all..

But brutal?

Upgrading the software without damaging the hardware.

I'm all hard no soft over here.

 

[lolo 06]

lol relax, he looks good sparring at 50% at best
he is great, but he is far from alone at the top

 

[Head Clean Off]

can't wait man

Pretty ironic to call a 5'9 LW a silverback.

 

[NightwingBJJ]

I hear The Infamous Mobb Deep in the background.

 

[Bogeyman]

His kicks look to have improved a bit. Look less telegraphed than usual. I never really thought he could do any damage with that hook kick due to how much set up he always put on it but it looks much faster there.

 

[BigPapaShango]

Maybe it is just me, but McGregor is becoming a sort of One Direction like figure within Sherdog. Guys are close to throwing their pants at him on every possible occasion.

The guys approach, training methods and skill set is superb, however to label this as a 'brutal' kick and him being in a league of his own is getting sad.

Have you seen the RDA training videos, he looks awesome also.

Fighters are hardly going to post videos of them getting whooped are they......

'Silverback Sparring' as the thread title?

I expected a video of a gorilla with boxing gloves throwing haymakers.

Or a fight involving Bob Sapp.

 

[Dragon Punch]

I thought this thread was going to be about a hairy monster like Rothwell.

 

[rurouni]

meh

[God_Emperor_Of_Mankind]

I wanted to see a FUCKING SILVERBACK WRECKING SHIT!!

 

[BenjaminRandalC]

misleading title. Came here for Seth Petruzelli and I was betrayed.

 

[NatoHoro]

Conor shirt is false.
He has no respect.

 

[SteelHeems]

Throwing spinny shit looks good in sparring videos. He needs to land it in the fight though. He landed off balance too. There's a takedown if I ever saw one. He's looking sharp though.
