Conor McGregor drops fighter with brutal kick days away from crunch bout

Conor McGregor brutally dropped one of his fighters with a body shot just days away from his crunch fight to earn a UFC contract on The Ultimate Fighter.

The Notorious has coached his team to an unprecedented 0-7 losing streak that has promotional boss Dana White questioning how the show can continue into the semi-finals. And perhaps one factor in his latest quick-fire defeat was a sparring session he took in the early part of this week's episode.

After earlier declaring he needed to calm himself down following an altercation with Michael Chandler the previous week, McGregor took on Landon Quinones in what was supposed to be a light sparring drill. However, while showing off a technique to the body he began to up the levels and landed a brutal body kick that dropped his charge, reports The Mirror.
