Conor McGregor has once again managed to grab headlines. The iconic MMA fighter is well known for his flamboyant style and trash talk. Fans and analysts alike are buzzing with intrigue as the Irish superstar recently committed to undergoing ‘high-elevation’ training for his forthcoming fight. This statement came together with McGregor’s announcement of his re-entry into the USADA testing pool.
McGregor’s recent X post has made the fans eagerly excited. The former double champion tweeted, “I’m back in the pool. Will be doing my stint at high elevation before the bout.”.The explosive fighter is well known for his fast-twitch muscles but also has a habit of fading as the fight goes on. His tweet about training at high elevation has intrigued the fans. One fan tweeted, “Cardio McGregor in effect?” High-elevation training is a method employed by athletes to enhance their endurance and oxygen-carrying capacity. This method thus increases cardiovascular functioning.
McGregor’s ‘high elevation’ announcement might be a hint at a renewed strategy that emphasizes enhanced stamina and cardio for his next bout. Moreover, with his inclusion in the USADA testing pool, the former two-division champ might be hinting at a more disciplined and clean approach to his fight preparation. It could also be a psychological play to keep potential opponents guessing about his training regimen.
It also needs to be noted that his presumed opponent, Michael Chandler, faces issues like McGregor. Chandler too has faded in later rounds of fights. McGregor’s tactic of training at high elevation might be to enhance his cardio to outpace the explosive Chandler. Moreover, fans are rumbling about targeting McGregor vs. Chandler for UFC 300. The event is prestigious, as many notable fighters like Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya have expressed their wish to be part of it.
