Conor McGregor has claimed he is "light years ahead" of the UFC roster in his latest training footage after showing off his upward striking.
The Irishman has not fought since breaking his leg in an opening round defeat to Dustin Poirier last July, but has returned to training and is regularly posting footage of his rehabilitation on social media. It is expected that McGregor's comeback will now be delayed until next year as he looks to make a full recovery, but he has displayed himself in different types of workouts including boxing and most recently grappling.
The former UFC double champion has boasted throughout his career about the quality of his downwards striking to a grounded opponent when fighting on his feet. He has now claimed that he has been working on his technique while striking an opponent from the floor in his latest Instagram video where he is shown wrestling with a sparring partner.
