hey peeps first thread here,
so obviously its mix martial arts but which martial arts does conor mcgregor do?

some fighters specialise in certain martial arts like bjj or muay thai etc,
so i'm wondering what does mcgregor specialise in?

been watching ufc for years and normally its quiet clear what martial arts the fighters specialise in but im not sure when it comes to conor mcgregor,
his boxing seems really good especially with him being a southpaw...
 
He does this (go to 1:10 if it doesn't):

 
Strong aikido base where his opponents weight are redistributed to his left fist.
 
he did some boxing early on but didn't like only boxing so he started training 'mma'. we're not in a time anymore where everyone has their "base" discipline, enter mma, then start adding to their skillset. there are people now who have trained mma style fighting (mma specific boxing without stuff like shoulder rolls, mma specific muay thai, kick boxing, etc), mma grappling (tdd, specific bjj subs and escapes). you can see he has good boxing, he incorporates karate stances, he does capoiera style kicks and movement, and so on. he just a mixed martial artist

yea that makes sense to be fair...

i wasnt sure so i thought i'd ask, nice one mate
 
A proper answer is his base is a southpaw boxer as his core followed by learning the all around jiu jitsu and ground game.

He has since added capoeria, taekwondo and karate into his stand up arsenal making it much more effective to disguise his boxing which is where he still wins his fights

His ground game is competent but not world level and always seen as a threat to him

He is esseintially to Chuck Liddel as to what the Iphone 6 is to the original Iphone - similar in fundamentals but significantly more glitter
