Former UFC heavyweight champion Bas Rutten believes Conor McGregor should've gone to his old training roots for his upcoming fight against Dustin Poirier. The veteran thinks the Irishman should've adapted the 'Rocky' style.
During his interview with Submission Radio, Rutten said Conor McGregor needs to adapt to a hard style of training for his third fight against Poirier.
The former UFC fighter mentioned that McGregor should've gone to somewhere like Russia and trained in the cold, in the snow, made his own food, and completely changed his training style.
"I said this right after the loss, I think he needs to go Rocky on everything. He needs to go straight to Russia or something, in the cold, in the snow, you know make your own food. Go back to the roots, make it hard again in training."
