Conor McGregor Reveals the Only Way to Stop ‘Legendary’ Zion Clark: ‘Very Few on the Planet Possess This Skill’

Now, former UFC champion McGregor has shared a congratulatory message to Clark, while also sharing a few tips for his future opponents.

Conor McGregor on how to fight Zion Clark

While Conor McGregor had nothing but good things to say about Clark, he also tried to decode Clark’s fighting style. McGregor commented on the former D1 wrestler‘s speed of entry for the takedown. The former two-division champion also advised against connecting with Clark in “any shape or form.”

In his opinion, it is better to fight Clark by finding frames to strike from. He also congratulated Clark and remarked how MMA is the best sport.

In a response to his previous tweet, McGregor elaborated further on how to fight Clark. Being a grounded opponent, opponents cannot kick Clark. Therefore, McGregor said, “the only way to stop him is to develop ko ending shots mid transitions in grappling.”

‘The Notorious’ also said, “Very few on the planet possess this skill.” He used Clark’s opponent as an example to show how downward jabs would also be useless, as there would be no power.
