UFC legend Conor McGregor has been mocked by fans after he explained his bizarre method for getting rid of injuries.
McGregor, 34, gave the questionable advice to his lightweight fighter Aaron McKenzie during a recent episode of The Ultimate Fighter season 34. McKenzie suffered an injury to his rib during a training session, which prompted McGregor to tell the fighter to imagine "grabbing" the injury out of his body.
"If you feel pain this is what you can do. Put your hand on where the pain is and close your eyes, feel where it is," McGregor said. "Feel yourself grabbing it out of there and it going, you can literally feel it there. It's no longer here, you can actually feel the pain here [in your fist] then just get f****ng rid of it.
"That's anywhere in the body. As many times in the day. Maybe it's 'Ah there's a little bit left and I've got to go and do it again'. Really feel yourself taking whenever the pain is and condensing it into a fist, like a little pebble. Then f*** the pebble straight into the ocean, plenty more fish in the sea."
McGregor's injury advice has since been questioned by fans as one user wrote: "I love Conor but what on earth is he waffling about." Another user wrote: "People really think this guy is some genius with next-level fight IQ. He’s just exceptional at waffling lol" with a third user adding: "He fully believes he's actually providing invaluable sage advice here, right?"

The Irishman's questionable coaching advice didn't end there, as he told the group of prospects that they should be singing whilst training. McGregor began singing the church song 'Oh Happy Day' before telling his fighters "Sing a song in your head lads, we're doing what we f***ing love here, we're here so put a smile on your face, keep your wits about you and go in and have fun. God Bless."
McGregor is going through a disastrous run of form on The Ultimate Fighter as his fighters have all lost their respective bouts in the opening three episodes. McGregor's soon-to-be opponent Michael Chandler has guided his team of veterans to a string of wins, with Austin Hubbard sending McKenzie to the hospital after their fight in the latest episode.
