Conor McGregor has been asked by UFC star Paulo Costa why his sparring partner in a newly released clip is "eating" every strike he throws.
McGregor, 34, released a 19-second video of him sparring at his gym in Dublin, although the footage is seemingly years old as the Irishman's frame is a lot smaller to his current physique. The former two-weight champion is seen landing a good head kick and overhand left on his sparring partner in the video, which prompted Costa to ask McGregor: "Why your spars eats every single shots?"
The video is also unlikely to have been filmed recently given McGregor is still recovering from a broken leg he suffered in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier last July. Although he hasn't been sparring, McGregor has been training recently as a video of him working on his wrestling with longtime coach Sergey Pikulskiy was posted on The Mac Life 's YouTube channel earlier this week.
