"This is the single worst thing" - UFC veteran blasts Conor McGregor's latest sparring video

UFC superstar Conor McGregor released footage of himself sparring and training for his much-awaited return to the octagon later this year.

However, former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen pointed out various issues with the production of the video and questioned whether it really was 'The Notorious' in the clip. Sonnen pointed out that McGregor was covered up significantly in the clip.

“Oh my goodness, guys, I’m watching the worst video I’ve ever seen produced by Conor McGregor. This is the single worst thing I have ever seen produced by Conor. There’s a training video that is allegedly Conor McGregor sparring, I have to use the word allegedly. It looks nothing like him and his body is completely covered up. Conor has some very recognizable features, tattoos by example, none of which are showing. His face by example, which you cannot see. Like it’s shot so badly, I can’t promise you that it’s Conor McGregor."

Sonnen also outlined the importance of training footage and compared the video production quality to his son's videography skills with an iPhone.

"It then has an overlay of awful music that should not exist, we should hear the grunts and the groans, we should the bell in the gym sounds."

"My son is seven years old… He plays with my iPhone… And he likes to make movies, his movies are better than this.”

Sonnen went on to discuss McGregor's current predicament surrounding his impending return to action.
