Former lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez shook the boxing world after his return to the ring back in August. He secured a TKO victory over Pedro Campa for the WBO International Super Light and the North American Boxing Federation Super Light belts. Moreover, he is now set to face Jose Pedraza on December 10 at Madison Square Garden.

Ahead of the fight, Lopez looks to be working out at full capacity to prepare for his Puerto Rican foe. In addition to his routine, ‘The Takeover’ has added another exercise to his arsenal that fans would not have expected. In a recent video on his social media, Lopez revealed that he would be incorporating the Conor McGregor flies in his workout. As the name suggests, this exercise was made famous by former UFC double champion Conor McGregor who used it in his various workout routines.

“So, I try out the McGregor flies. You don’t know about the McGregor flies? Ya’ll don’t know about the McGregor flies? I mean you should know about the McGregor flies.” Lopez said in the video. However, this was not all as the Notorious One himself replied back to Lopez with a tweet. In the tweet, he claimed that he was honored that Lopez would use his exercises in the workout. “Honored, champion!” he wrote.

McGregor is known for his wacky and outlandish methods of training. However, what cannot be denied is their effectiveness, as Lopez will certainly try to prove it against Pedraza on December 10.

Teofimo Lopez offers to help train Conor McGregor

Lopez once even offered McGregor to help him train for his return to combat sports. Back in March, Lopez commented on an Instagram post of McGregor hinting that the two might train in the future. “I’d get you right, champ.” he wrote under McGregor’s post.

McGregor has not competed in the Octagon since his loss to Dustin Poirier. However, he has been posting a lot on social media, eyeing a return in the future.

Lopez at the time was also out of action since his loss to George Kambosos Jr. However, he returned in splendid fashion after beating Campa and will look to get back into title contention after December 10.
