Fans delighted to see Conor McGregor showcasing impeccable defense whilst sparring
Conor McGregor is a name synonymous with precise counterstriking. The counterstriking aspect enabled him to knock out a string of top contenders in three different weight classes. The recent video of McGregor sparring showcasing elusive slipping has put the fans on their heels. It was reminiscent of the times when he knocked out Jose Aldo, Dustin Poirier, and Eddie Alvarez, to name a few.
The fan reaction to the video was in favor of McGregor. A fan said that Michael Chandler should be wary of fighting McGregor. One fan praised McGregor for the impeccable defense. Another fan is happy to see Conor McGregor moving like he used to. However, certain fans were not happy with it. They found it to be an inferior version of the McGregor from 2016. Check out other fan reactions:
McGregor’s upcoming opponent, Chandler, is as explosive or if not better than him. However, Chandler does not possess the fluid striking that the former double champion has. The Irishman can sting Chandler from afar with patience. It also needs to be noted that Chandler has fought in many brutal wars in his recent bouts, and McGregor is coming from a long lay-off.
