“I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India,” roared Conor McGregor as he finally revealed his next opponent after years of hiatus. The former dual weight champion will be facing the older Paul brother in an exhibition match, but will he be able to get a victory against a taller and stronger opponent? Well, the former UFC champion has been sharing updates about his training on his Instagram handle. However, his posts have been underwhelming, and appear to lack the athleticism expected from a fighter. And this is the reason why ‘Mystic Mac’ has been brutally called out by the MMA community.
After the ‘White-belt’ level BJJ video and the boxing video, Conor McGregor has come forward to drop another update on his training. He took to his Instagram handle to upload a video of him doing bag work on a body bag. The former dual-weight champion uploaded multiple videos of him training with the body bag. We could witness that McGregor was struggling to get a hold of the body bag as his balance was way off.
Amidst the chaos, his Coach, John Kavanagh has come forward to have a piece of motivation in the middle of his comeback preparation, “The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights,” wrote John Kavanagh in the comment section of the video. In addition to Kavanagh, it appears that even Conor McGregor is motivated as wrote, “I hold multiple fights with 100% G’n’P accuracy.”

The Irishman tagged ‘Solo Drills ARCHIMEDES’ in his caption, indicating that he is practicing a solo drill, just like his coach. Conor McGregor has always been a striker, but he has gained some respect for Brazilian jiu-jitsu after he was awarded a black belt last year. Well, despite that, the former dual-weight champion appeared to have lost touch with the hunger that fueled his will to win inside the Octagon. Regardless, next year might be a big year for the former UFC champ as he is expected to secure a massive payday.
