"Can you whip up a head kick in a blink?" - Conor McGregor breaks down practising "high kick like a jab" in latest training video 

Conor McGregor's latest training video shows the Irishman trying to master head kicks. In the caption, 'The Notorious' also explained why he is keen on adding the move to his arsenal.

According to McGregor, the 'high kick like a jab' opens up a lot of possibilities and opportunities. However, the Dubliner also believes that in order to whip up a high kick from nowhere, lower leg kicks need to take the backseat. The former UFC double champion also hit the top part of the bag to demonstrate his ability to go higher with ease. He wrote in the caption of his post:

"Now Ask yourself this. Can you whip up a head kick in a blink? Head kick like a jab? Why not, stupid? Can’t even touch your toes you tick 😂. Im not even working low or to the body anymore. Get to the top of the mountain and work your way down is the way! The possibilities are limitless and opportunity endless when you can whip a high kick like a jab and do it out of nowhere and at any time."
