Conor McGregor gives fan slapping advice

McGregor replied, “Interesting question. It would have to be better to take it relaxed. However, with eyes fully on the slap at all time. 100%! Full awareness with a relaxed brace I would say is best.” He emphasizes the importance of being fully aware and relaxed when receiving a slap. This way, the body can better absorb the force of the slap.

McGregor also adds, “Then all you can do is pray the opponents sum of force x velocity is less than needed.” This highlights the unpredictable nature of a fight and the importance of being prepared for any situation. By being aware and relaxed, a fighter can better handle the force of a slap and potentially avoid injury.
