Conor McGregor to commence his training camp soon

Despite facing the looming threat of his USADA issue, Conor McGregor recently tweeted about beginning his training camp in ‘Big Bear’. This is likely in preparation for his much awaited comeback fight later this year against Michael Chandler. It is interesting to note that the spot he has chosen for his comeback training camp is the famous Big Bear Lake in Southern California.

It is located substantially above the sea-level, making it perfect for athletes looking to get some high-altitude training done. McGregor seems to have made sure to pick the cream from the crop for his training location. Training in high altitude conditions is a proven way for athletes to increase their endurance and stamina, making it a wise decision for the Irishman to pick such a location to prepare for his next fight.

The Khamzat Chimaev-Jiří Procházka feud

Recently, during his appearance on the MMA Hour, Khamzat Chimaev made a bold claim, saying that he had defeated Jiří Procházka once in a sparring session. The Swedish fighter also expressed his disappointment with the fact that ‘Denisa’ got a title shot, and he believes that the division doesn’t seem to have many good fighters at the moment.

Chimaev stated, “We trained together in the gym. We sparred, hard sparring, I won many rounds. I submit him many times, I beat him many times. He becomes a champ. Now I don’t know maybe it’s too bad fighters in this division.”

However, after Procházka saw these comments, he took to social media to issue a warning to the Swede. The Czech fighter seems to be taking Chimaev’s claims with a grain of salt as he went on to say that he would gladly show Chimaev his ‘true power’ in the cage, and he isn’t afraid to face him.

The Czech fighter took to his Instagram story and said, “Man, which person needs to speak again and again about this four years old information? Gym inside information.” He continued, “Man, when we will meet next time in a cage, I will show you my true power, I will not take it lightly. Don’t speak about others too much.”

Speaking of which, his girlfriend revealed the financial aspect of the contract. It seems that with this contract renewal, the Brazilian fighter will rake in $1 million per fight.

Tamara said[Per YouTube auto-translation], “Paulo’s value there, he went from being one of the most undervalued athletes to one of the most valued athletes within the organization. I’m sure I have no doubt that today Paulo is the highest paid Brazilian athlete within the organization… Don’t know if you know any Brazilian athlete who earns more than a million dollars per fight.”
