Conor McGregor reveals training footage 

Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor recently shared footage and pictures from a recent training session. He is slated to face Michael Chandler, but there is no official date yet. Nevertheless, McGregor seems to have kept himself busy in training despite no word on his return. 

Conor McGregor can be observed gracefully maneuvering around the cage, engaging with a sparring partner. Enthusiastic fans of the UFC speculate that ‘The Notorious’ counterpart seemed hesitant to launch any aggressive attacks.

Instead, he opted to adopt a defensive stance without any discernable motive against the former double champion. It remains to be seen if McGregor can show that he can still perform at his best, given how his last few fights have turned out. 

Khamzat Chimaev denies being on the UFC 300 card 

There were a lot of speculations regarding Khamzat Chimaev fighting at UFC 300. However, the Emirati has shut down those talks. A fan on Instagram expressed his wish to witness ‘Borz’ fight for the championship at the historic April pay-per-view. He wrote, “Hope you’re [Chimaev] gonna be the main event of UFC 300 with the title shot.” However, Chimaev has other plans. 

Given that UFC 300 will take place during the holy month of Ramadan, Khamzat Chimaev will not be able to compete during that period. “Not fighting in Ramadan,” declared ‘Borz’. We will have to wait and see if he gets the title shot that he’s asking for or if he will fight another middleweight contender to get into championship contention. 

Sean Strickland wants to train with Dillon Danis

Conor McGregor’s friend and training partner, Dillon Danis, seems to have noticed the news Sean Strickland has made after his sparring session with Rumble streamer Sneako. In a surprising move, the BJJ specialist revealed screenshots of him calling the former UFC champion a “good dude” to which Sean Strickland replied by confessing that he has no idea what the social media influencer thing is all about.

However, Sean Strickland did not miss out on the chance to invite Dillon Danis for a sparring session. The former middleweight champion wants to test Conor McGregor’s friend to see how tough he really is. Is Strickland aiming to do to Danis what he did to Sneako? We will find out if the BJJ specialist accepts the invitation.
