@amadorluis20082 years ago Conor was probably like: lets wrestle, kid. 2241
@

@joemeyer59122 years ago After that leg break its crazy to even see someone still motivated to be even training. 2606
@

@juju522912 years ago His grappling was always underrated. Great takedown defense even against khabib. 2246
@

@benmcreynolds85812 years ago This is what we need! We need more mcgregor back in the mix with this kind of passion and motivation. It' s awesome to see him still so driven no matter the bs that' s gone on. 448
@

@lorenzoxavierevidente26392 years ago Hope to see conor back to his flow / movement in fights! Thats really what got him to the top along with his obvious power left hand. 235
@

@thomaskeaveny98202 years ago Considering the leg break, hes improved so much! Every since the khabib fight his wrestling has got so much better! This just makes me even more excited for his come back! 318
@

@blackdiamond60772 years ago I like the way he trains, he does not try to force anything, he just flows. Very good. 948
@

@santaflow1332 years ago To me it' s really admirable that a man that has already done everything in this business and has no reason to fight continues doing it. 458
@

@DATNIGGA6532 years ago This is actually great. You can see him still training and clearly not done yet. He gets a lot of shit (some of it can be seen as justified) but hes putting in the work where he needs it. Im still a fan. 263
@

@thomasroger97072 years ago To be a fan of mma. What a time to be alive! 71
@

@levicondren96622 years ago I would love to see him train with khamzat intermittently like how darren does. This was awesome to see, and makes me even more excited for the return! 359
@

@KevinSamuelsKid2 years ago I love seeing that connor is working on his wrestling. This is fun to watch and theres a lot to learn. 38
@

@justinaaron14312 years ago Then all of a sudden he' s shooting for a takedown and i' m like " oh, you' re a wrestler now, you' re a wrestler" 917
@

@jamienorth80282 years ago It would be so funny if connor came back as a grappler lol. 52
@

@scenczyk14292 years ago This is more of what i want to see from him, as a fan of his and knowing that it was him that brought me into my love for mma.
seeing him training having that pool of hungry sharks around you pushes you further. This is what he is best at. ...Expand 19
@

@robbyclark28632 years ago His instincts & technique have improved. Still a lot of explosive movements which will tire you out but that' s what his bodies built for. Impressive stuff. 13
@

@BrandonSauve2 years ago I really like the way conor controls the posture by grabbing the head. It seems hes in constant pursuit to break posture. Its not to the same level but . ...Expand 66
@

@bmlaforge2 years ago Man this is such a relief watching him realize that wrestling is a must. This is mma conor, mix it up! 16
@

@MuhammadAli-kg7ij2 years ago takedown defense, he used vs Khabib in first 50 seconds of first round 44
@

@matoux3172 years ago It' s cool to see him focus on his other skills besides striking. Looking forward to seeing it translate in the cage. He' s def going to improve . ...Expand 53
@

@Crusader10992 years ago He is truly missed inside the octagon. Good training here by him. I hope he also uses heavier guys to grapple. 15
@

@anuma62172 years ago You can't deny that ankle pick at was slick! 4
@

@onirique79172 years ago As a random normal guy with no experience on fights, it' s always beautiful to watch this kind of stuff. 1
@

@lukewolfgang50022 years ago Anxiously awaiting a c breakdown video of mcgregors technique on the wrastling mat. 17
@

@TheSickjits2 years ago Man seeing how conor does vs his long time wrestling coach in this is super inspiring. Such good chain wrestling. He hits a slick outside to inside single, hits the knee drag, gets the hands on the mats, anticipates the counter rotation and grabs the ankle, his coach turns in to break the hold, he picks the ankle up and stops the rotation, turns the corner under the arm and drives for the finish, floats straight into side control. Absolutely beautiful grappling right here. Absolutely beautiful. .. ...Expand 133
@

@556Keem2 years ago What i do like about conor is he knows where he lacks and is working on it. 32
@

@umeshjeewantha81642 years ago Finally. Good to see him training some grappling. I wish he focus more on grappling and jiu-jitsu this time so that he can be a complete fighter. 3
@

@hyper5502 years ago If connor wants to learn wrestling for real, he should just come to the us and ask a d1 college if he can work there with them. The pace and drilling is . ...Expand 73
@

@csolisv2 years ago This is the conor that we love to see man, leg break and now training again, inspiring man, guy doesnt even have to move a finger and can live at the highest level of life lol. 4
@

@youtubeconnollyfamily2 years ago The most power twitter has ever seen.
im still cracking up from that. 1
@

@pauliebalboa75752 years ago Beautiful i know the upload is obviously recent but is the training recent?
@

@YiggityYo2 years ago If you look at the early khabib conor rounds, you see that conor actually has really effective td defense. 6
@

@MoneyClipsSports2 years ago Got to love conor cant wait to see him fight again. 76
@

@ucef99452 years ago If conor continues to train his wrestling & grappling he' ll make a magnificent comeback. 7
@

@itswrongtokillanimalsifyou28372 years ago That's one nice chain!

@kallesbaksatt2 years ago His defense against khabib was probably the best we ever saw. 4
@

@idontknow88982 years ago I really enjoy seeing conor mcgregor train. Something about his mentality, focus, and drive! 1

@notreal8422 years ago He got a very strong and balanced core. 23
@

@ceedub39662 years ago Lol that cut out of conor beckoning mendes on the wall is great.
@

@LordHolley2 years ago Good for him! Putting in work, trying to fill the holes up in his game. Nice to see something that' s not just another flexing and pad hitting session. 1
@

@honesttalker5962 years ago Where is this gym? Ireland or portland, usa?
@

@ooSeaney2 years ago Just like the stand up, nice, smooth and technical.
@

@KyleJames-2 years ago Man whens this video from? 2018? Need a date or at least year in the title. Idk if it' s recent or not.
@

@mohammedusman46162 years ago Very interesting to see him back on the mats. I find itinteresting how the second sparring partner (respectfully) seems like a much significantly lower good to see him back @ it but i woule love for him to bring in some good d1 athletes and truly level up instead of keep the same usual stuff we see, evident that conor takes full control over what he wants to do and does. ...Expand 44
@

@taekwondorian2 years ago Its great to see him recovering more and more. 1
@

@SaftonYT2 years ago @steven ryan it' s notto extrapolate his recent performances and lack of momentum to determine that he wouldn' t be the favorite against a lot of the killers, especially at 170.
@

@SmigGames2 years ago Does anyone know when this was recorded?
@

@Jake-qo3mp2 years ago Conor always had pretty great takedown defence from his movement training. Stuffed a lot of khabib, chad and all of eddie' s takedown attempts but because . ...Expand 2
@

@Jackalspit2 years ago Damn the wrestling here is great. So crazy he' s still getting better. If he brings back more karate style striking with wrestling like this he' d be dangerous. 1
@

@azraelfaust4872 years ago Is this old footage? Conor doesn' t look as beefy here as he does in recent pictures
this looks like khabib fight conor. 10
@

@johnyboy22102 years ago Conor- lets wrestle kid, lets wrestle
kid- oh your a wrestler now. 4
@

@matthewflesher34382 years ago Now this is what i like to see. Now do king of the mat and sprawl drills. 2
@

@shiishani33022 years ago 1st guy is shorter & lighter.
2nd one is lighter & also is that supposed to be a single leg? 1
@

@RebelDan-ln1qm2 years ago Well done conor! Looking sharp and focused. 5
@

@jay40222 years ago Thought was seeing something new when i seen the video pop up but after watching clearly it' s old footage when he was a 155 r nearly had me for a minute mac life lol.
@

@ricardobjj242 years ago Conor needs to go train with other elite fighters and trainers he needs other great fighters around him. 97
@

@Yuuusha2 years ago Wow, it' s been like eternity since i have wanted to give conor compliments, i like how he grapples.
@

@too_sturdy2 years ago Crazy eddie alvarez was able to take chandler down, but not conor. His tdd is underrated af. 6

@eduardogaraicoechea83212 years ago Nate: " so you are a wrestler now? "
conor: . 1
@

@Meatball.number12 years ago Guys im recovering from ankle sprain and its really a bad injury, gives consequences for long.
cant imagine what it is to break a tibia and a id="hidden21"nkle like conor. He mentioned that this injury reminds him of itself still and i really believe it. Ligaments damage is forever. ...Expand 1
@

@user-dm1jr1gy2s2 years ago This is from the cerrone camp, look at his hair. I love that conor is still training after that injury but that' s not recent footage.
@

@nkyryry2 years ago His grappling has always been shit on. Hes a very competent grappler. 3
@

@dabanug42092 years ago Better than it used to be. Still seems like hes taking a second to think about what to do rather than hitting one thing after another which could cost him against an experienced wrestler. 1
@

@gantonia992 years ago Looks pretty good, nice ahoot to the single leg speed and accuracy.
@

@groovyxhriss80472 years ago Hes still taking care of the leg & you can tell people are easy on it/that side wish the best for conors return. 15

@giovanniamadorrosales92702 years ago Good work conor! I think that' s the most power youtube has ever seen. Cheers mate, that' s some real proper 12 training. 1

@alejandrocarranza19122 years ago Can' t wait for cejudo' s commentary on this lol. 1
@

@bryanbasile6292 years ago God conors build is looking insane bro. 1
@

@DingleDut2 years ago Yes i love this. Doing this endlessly will make his body tired ultimately conditioning himself day by day. Combine this with focus mind he' ll be on track. 3
@

@corymmarules74622 years ago Hes looking healthier than everwishing him a complete recovery. 1
@

@archielee25212 years ago Love to see him work on his wrestling he already has great standup but mix it all up with the wrestling and ground and pound then he is all good to go.

@k2m5242 years ago In case you are all wondering, this is 2018-2019 footage. I would say more 2019.
@

@RurouniKenshinShinta2 years ago Could actually see conor evolving and being decent at takedown defense if he just lets himself get humbled and be taught. Problem with conor is hes got nothing but yes-men on his side which is why his growth has plateaued. 32

@captaindeadpool26552 years ago Idc what anybody says. Mcgregor' s grappling is so underrated. He flows so well and is so smooth with transitions. A much better grappler than gaethje or porier. Also know what grappler means before you reply to me.

admire his tenacity tho. Not easy to come back from a broken leg. 2
@

@BenjiBoy092 years ago That' s it now, this is the final piece of the puzzle conor needed to win back the championship. I can' t see anyone beating this version of conor. 2
@

@bryceadams42972 years ago This is exactly what conor needs to make his skill set complete imo. Hes a striker and thats never gonna change, but having the ability to stop a tak id="hidden32"edown is always good. Now that hes learning how to initiate them, he can make better adjustments to his overall game and use the wrestling where he needs it. Cant wait to see where he goes. ...Expand

@adamkoehler57472 years ago Thats a good training partner. Giving him a realistic look, while letting him train his moves.
@

@b7shoota2 years ago Ive never seen an issue with conors takedown defense and his ground game. It just gets worse as he gasses out. If he had a diaz gas tank it would be scary. 3

@khabobmma80392 years ago Mcgregor has always had underrated ground defense and is pretty smooth with it, id love to see him blast chandler or gaethje tho.
