Former two-weight champion Conor McGregor’s latest sparring video did not impress the former three-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen.

The former UFC lightweight champion McGregor suffered a gruesome leg injury during his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier last year. However, the Irish star has fully recovered from the injury and is back to training.

Ever since ‘The Notorious’ has recovered, he has been uploading videos of his training on the internet for his fans. Many fans are in awe after witnessing his speedy recovery and training videos. However, the UFC legend, Chael Sonnen, doesn’t fall under this bracket.

Recently, great old Sonnen uploaded a video on his YouTube channel where he spoke about the current scenario of the UFC heavyweight division. Whilst doing that, Sonnen stumbled upon the former UFC champion McGregor’s training videos.

Sonnen said, “The number one star in our sport, without exception, provable, verifiable numbers, is McGregor. How did his last fight go? How did his fight before that go? You see the problem.”

“Or at least do you see where I am, right? That it just matters how hot can you be. And Conor brings us in on everything. Conor goes and gets on a scale. He takes a picture he brings it to us.” Sonnen added.

“Conor starts making a comeback. He films it, puts it out. Conor puts sparring footage from over the weekend out. He did not look great in sparring. But still, Conor gave us something to talk about. He doesn’t have to look great. He just needs to be out there.” Sonnen concluded. 

Conor McGregor: More on his UFC return

After recovering from his injury, the UFC superstar has also hinted at a return this year. Ever since then, there have been many speculations about the timeline of his return and his opponent. But, nothing has been official.

However, McGregor has stated what he wants next on his UFC return. Previously, the Irishman was eyeing a fight with the Brazilian, Charles Oliveira for the UFC lightweight gold.

However, now ‘The Notorious’ wants to fight the number one pound-for-pound fighter, Kamaru Usman, for his welterweight gold. By doing so, McGregor wants to become the first UFC fighter to hold titles in three weight categories.
