Video clips of Conor McGregor, training with the prospects on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’, have picked up a lot of steam on social media. As such, the UFC fans have shared their reactions yet again to a video clip of ‘Notorious’ teaching a prospect how to blend fighting styles during a recent episode.

Conor McGregor has found himself in a predicament in the UFC’s reality TV show. His team of prospects has been unable to register a win against Michael Chandler‘s veterans. On top of that, the Irishman hasn’t had much of an impact this season compared to his previous appearance on the 22nd season of TUF.

During a session at the gym, ‘Notorious’ was having a chat with one of his prospects about the art of implementation in MMA. The prospect in question here was Carlos Vera, who has a brown belt in Capoeira, the art for which McGregor has a love. Capoeira is an African-Brazilian martial art that specializes in mixing dance with acrobatics. Moreover, McGregor has adopted this style and implemented it in his spinning kicks.

McGregor shared the video on Twitter and captioned it, “Implementation! Mix the arts. Can you?” He claims that fighters need to mix their fighting styles, which is why the sport is called mixed martial arts. Let us take a look at what the fans had to say about it.
