Moreover, McGregor was seen motivating his team member in the video as he said, “Find comfort in it. You know what I was doing? I had a cut on me nose in the Cerrone camp. I had to wear this bar across my nose.”
McGregor continued, “I couldn’t even see. I was sparring five different bodies that were coming in fresh with no vision. Use your periphery. You can do it blindfolded.”

Another fan said, “At first I hated this clip because he didn’t throw any kicks and he himself nearly got caught by a head kick but in fairness maybe he was sparring that way to mimic a style for his partner who he’s coaching on the show. Idk”
Lastly, a fan said, “Connor talks a better fight game than he’s actually got!!”
