"Well done he’s submitting cans from the PFL."
"Think the guy is way better but just letting roll for the clip."
"Bruh gave him that single leg on a silver platter, step into any high school wrestling gym in the US and there’s a thousand kids who go more intense and defend better. While it is training, grappling training should be intense and less playful."
"Mate! That guy he's training with looks like he just showed up to refill the vending machines. I think Tony beats this Conor."
"So the equivalent to me submitting the toddler in the McDonald's line twice. Got it."
Check out some of the fan reactions below:
The recent training footage has surfaced amid McGregor's ongoing legal battles, including the recent civil court ruling where he was found liable for assault, which resulted in a substantial financial payout to his accuser. While McGregor's competitive future remains uncertain due to his ongoing legal issues, the Irishman has been teasing a fight against Michael Chandler ever since the American called him out following his victory over Tony Ferguson at UFC 274.
Rapper Drake names Conor McGregor in his list of favorite UFC fighters
Drake recently revealed his favorite UFC fighter during a livestream, but surprisingly snubbed Conor McGregor. When asked about his all-time best fighter, Drake chose Nate Diaz, McGregor's former rival, calling him "crazy through and through."
While he expressed love and respect for McGregor, Drake explained that he admires Diaz for his unchanging nature and commitment to his roots, regardless of fame or wealth. Speaking about his favorite fighters in a stream with Adin Ross, Drake said:
"I respect people who are where you're from and nothing else can change you. The money, the wins, nothing. So to me, it's Nate [Diaz]. That's my favorite fighter because Nate is crazy through and through. Obviously, of course, I have other favourite fighters. I love Conor [McGregor] with all my heart… I'm talking about if they were rappers who would I like listening to?"
