Conor McGregor Flew in Gold Medalist Jordan Burroughs to Ireland for his Camp

[Grapplefest]

Geduev would have been a really good choice, but I don't think he would have helped Conor (meaning I don't think he would have wanted to)

Jordan I think is a rare american wrestler whose mat style is similar to eastern european
in terms of takedowns he's not super similar, but the way he ties up, and the way he looks for pins is super applicable to MMA and I think pretty similar to Khabib

but I think I agree with you

Agree that Kavkazian wrestlers would probably not want to help Conor. But it seems that the guy who made the tweet has a history of fake news and trolling so Burroughs probably isn't even there lol

 

[Homervanderjaz]

Wise move but can’t helpt think it would have been better had he done this earlier given there has been talk of the Khabib fight for a long time and that he has had a lot of free time....

 

[Bill Laimbeer]

Yea because a golden Olympian and world champion in wrestling knows nothing about clinch work at all...
Shoot yourself MORON

They are two different style wrestlers goof and last time I checked Boroughs has never used to a cage to push people agaiasnt. Boroughs uses more of a power game. Take you lips off Conor’s taint and you might actually learn about MMA.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

Conor has already been to and conquered 10th planet.

I promise you he doesn't have an elite rubber guard game kid

 

[Lavitz]

Isn’t Burroughs training for worlds? When would he have time to train Conor?

 

[THATxGUY]

can't wait for edited footage from Conor's camp how Conor "dominated" Jordan in wrestling

Bbwwaahhaaa .... This ^^^

Ok expert

I can promise you the founder of the rubber guard knows a lot more about it, then you do little girl! HAHAHAHAHAH

 

[Azure]

So that is completely wrong if true.. UFC should not be giving any cash to help training camps

 

[Spookv]

Is this Deja Vu? I swear I read the same thing like 3 years ago and it ended up being fake news.

 

[lukeuidswords]

Lel fake source
Same guy that said Zab Judah kayo'd Floyd in sparring

Hey read my post you fucking dumb retards
Or read his tweet feed
Or google "Las Vegas Post" (hint; its a fake newspaper)

 

[flowoftruth]

He needs to bring in Judo and Combat Sambo specialists also. Then he needs to find a magic lamp and wish to go back in time far enough where any of this will actually make a difference

 

[Bill Laimbeer]

Ok expert

Clearly know more than you cheif.

 

[ChucksGlassJaw]

It's not like McGregor is going to become a good wrestler in 2 months. Nobody is that dumb. He probably just wants to feel the strength to prepare him for Khabib's strength.

 

[ImWalterHobbs]

Great move by Conor, if true. Could really change the complexion of the fight. However if this isnt just BS and the UFC is actually paying for it, I'm done with this company.
They both have elite skills and a great chance to win. Let each man earn it on his own.

Edit: I have no problem with Conor training with this guy. But he needs to be paying out of his own pocket or that's just terrible.

 

[lukeuidswords]

You are all dumb gullible idiots

 

[Agnawedbone]

He did an excellent job preparing for the Diaz rematch. He's had a lot of time to work on his previously lacking ground game at this point, it will be very interesting to see how Conor looks come October.

 

[The Neckbeard]

Poor Colin fans. Anything to give them hope.

Just because he brings him in for training it does not mean he absorbs his wrestling ability. Khabib is still gonna make Colin look like a fish out of water.

Hahaha, then Jordan going all Paulie on him publicly

 

[BobbyHillComedian]

You can't become a good grappler with one camp regardless of who you're training with... grappling requires a lifetime of training to develop the core strength and intuitive knowledge of angles and leverage.

It is much much MUCH easier to learn striking with a grappling base than vice versa.
