Conor McGregor has been an ace striker in his entire UFC career. The hardest of his losses, however, came against Khabib Nurmagomedov when McGregor was made to tap in the 4th round at UFC 229. ‘The Eagle’ choked McGregor to submission and exposed the chinks in his ground game.

Conor McGregor has now shared an Instagram video where he can be seen training with his sparring partners. The video starts with McGregor’s wall against the wall. The sparring partner attacks McGregor’s leg and tries to complete a takedown. McGregor defends well, keeping his partner away from his body, denying him any leverage, and avoiding the takedown.

Daniel Cormier had recently backed Khabib Nurmagomedov as one of the greatest fighters of all time and the video seems like a response to that. The caption of the post has a part that reads “There’s not a place I’m not great. Some of your goats can’t even kick. Watch my wrist work here”. Fans may read this message as a message to Daniel Cormier and Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Conor McGregor takes a dig at ‘DC’

In the Video, Conor McGregor completes a reversal despite having his legs being attacked and an attempted takedown. The captions send out details about the maneuvers and what really transpired during the sparring bout.

The caption read, “Shit hot everywhere. The real goat. There’s not a place I’m not great. Some of your goats can’t even kick. Watch my wrist work here. At some points you see my opponent has the illusion of the control of my wrist but I use this silliness to open doors with it. I open the door to go right into full mount. Then later I open the door right to the rib cage for my knee to land flush. It’s using the opponents control of your wrist as a lever. Watch and see can you see. Leave a comment and tag your pal, the Mac is back, with another lesson on defend and attack ❤️”

McGregor is not on Cormier’s all-time great list

Conor McGregor clearly isn’t happy with Daniel Cormier’s all-time great fighters list. The list had Floyd Mayweather, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Muhammad Ali in the first three places, followed by Georges St.-Pierre and Amanda Nunes.
