Conor McGregor severely injured his left leg during his last bout in UFC 264. The Notorious took a break for recovery and hasn’t fought since then. However, he has never failed at teasing the fans of his return.

Recently, he posted a video on his Instagram, where he was wrestling with a training partner. However, McGregor must be surprised at what fans had to say in the comments.

Fans reacted to Conor McGregor’s training video

Conor ‘The Notorious’ McGregor recently uploaded a training video on his Instagram account. He captioned, “Sh*t 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 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.” He went on saying how to use the opponent and controlling one’s wrist as a lever. 

However, with the rise of a new champion, Islam Makhachev, fans exploded the comments as they compared McGregor’s skills to Dagestani wrestlers.

Islam Makhachev did not call out Conor McGregor

The current lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev, along with his coach, Khabib Nurmagomedov, vowed not to call McGregor. In the ‘Full Send Podcast’, Makhachev said that he’d go with more deserving fighters rather than McGregor. He said, “Every fighter tries to call him out after they win. I’m not going call him after the fight because I want to fight with real fighters who deserve the title shot.”

Instead, Makhachev had a face-off with Alexander Volkanovski after he defeated Charles Oliveira. Volkanovski agreed to the fight and congratulated Makhachev on his victory. The duo is set to land against each other in Australia.
