Conor McGregor is a household name in the entire MMA world. The Irishman made his UFC debut in the year 2013, and has gone on to become the biggest star of the sport. The strikes of his ‘sniper’ left hand, have taken the lights out of some of the best in the business. ‘Mystic Mac’ is also a merciless trash-talker, which brings him even a bigger fan following. McGregor had last graced the Octagon in 2021, where he suffered a terribly broken shin bone, and lost to Dustin Poirier, due to a Doctor’s stoppage. Since then, McGregor has been on the hunt to get back to the Octagon. Still, he keeps his fans updated about his training and lifestyle, by uploading videos and posts through his social media handles.

‘The Notorious One,’ recently posted a video on his Instagram account. It garnered a lot of attention from the fans, who went on to pour in their views regarding the same.

Fans weren’t quite impressed by Conor McGregor’s video

Despite receiving a healthy number of comments, fans didn’t seem very pleased with this video. Most of them opted to take a dig at McGregor, mentioning his partner was reluctant in the session.

The UFC Hall of Fame fighter, ‘Urijah Faber’ commented, “Was punching in the rules.” He ended his comment with a laughing emoji, which clarified his mocking tone. McGregor himself captioned this video as ‘Grappling’, but Faber found it really funny that McGregor was throwing punches amidst a grappling session.

‘Mystic Mac’ chose to throw back at ‘Urijah Faber’ commenting, “I gonna show up to your spot one day. For a munch.” It was evident that McGregor was having none of Faber’s words.

A fan named, James Mac Gaw, wrote, “Brother you need to do sparring with people that doesnt respect you!! He is not even throwing back !” He clearly implied that McGregor needed better training partners in order to return to the Octagon with full force.

However, one of his fans named, marcusdeegan, was delighted to see his video. He commented, “Now if that don’t pump ya up ! Let’s go champ.”
