Media NEW Footage of Conor McGregor SPARRING ahead of UFC 257

[Deleted member 498977]

Panic wrestling right away with big gloves and headgear.

He'd play touch butt with you and did what he wanted and you wouldn't do shit about it.

Sparring so lightly like that will negatively effect a fighter.
Everything is so slow and tame. Sure you can do that once in a while. But the main thing, by far to help prepare for a fight is fighting. And that can be a little off the regular pace.

Nonsense. The best thing you can do is do lots of light sparring. Light sparring gives you a chance to try new things and work on timing.

Hard sparring has its place, but there's no need to hard spar every day. That's only good for giving you CTE.

 

[FKAri]

Surprised by the lack of ki blasts. Maybe he doesn't want to reveal too much?

no, when you are this much near the fight, the number one thing is injury prevention

 

[KID Yamamoto]

Pretty slick sweep but we all know hes just gonna box Dustin up.

This is silly. Robbie Lawler went on the best run of his career and became a UFC champion after he quit sparring to spare his health. Light sparring and drills are becoming way more common than hard sparring.

 

[vlz]

even krav maga drills look more realistic than that sweep

 

[GolovKing]

I'm sure that wasn't scripted at all

Good luck in your quest to learn English. Hang in there, you'll get better.

Maybe he should fly you out to camp

 

[Dragonfly7814]

Terrible head placement, he's vulnerable for elbow strikes.

Dustin will fuck him up

 

[VAfan]

i miss the days when we used to get detailed reports of what he had in his shopping cart at the supermarket.

 

[Broccoli Cake]

Yes but he's not a fighter. That's like saying he would be able to knock out an old man... Oh wait.

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

I just hope dustin can survive the first before he getting slept

 

[613]

Yep, just like he did and said he was going to the first time. Conor has improved more, Dustin will fold.

I think Conor will win, but how has he improved more? Conor was probably better (or at least just as good) when he beat Siver, Aldo, Chad, Dustin then he is now

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

Better takedowns than Khabib has nowadays. Conor with training camp can't lose, unless he has undisclosed injuries.

Has his foot fully healed from before the Khabib fight?

I’m not even a Conor fan but “panic wrestling”?

cmon bro, should he only be training stand up? This is MIXED martial arts. Just because he’s training wrestling doesn’t mean he’s panic wrestling.

When's the last time you threw on 16 oz gloves and head gear for wrestling practice?

 

[ultramanhyata]

One of the dumber things I've read today

He probably admires the old-school Blackhouse mentality where guys should be getting concussed every day in the no-holds-barred sparring sessions. Makes for long, successful MMA careers.
