Conor McGregor and Star Wars is a unique combo that the fight fans witnessed at the peak of the Irishman’s UFC career.

‘The Notorious’ is known for his unconventional training. Who can forget the infamous Nate Diaz quote about the former UFC double champion’s training? Also, his training video with ‘Game of Thrones’ fame, ‘The Mountain.’

In an uncanny video, ‘Mystic Mac‘ trained with his sparring partner carrying a Jedi sword. On the other hand, the biggest PPV draw in UFC history had no equipment.

In the short clip, ‘The Notorious’ is showing elusive movements while his sparring partner is swinging the sword. It appears the training was set as a fun moment, yet McGregor utilized some good movements and gave a rare moment for his fans.
