the russian Khabib Nurmagomedov caught the attention of the MMA world when footage from his childhood was released in which he trained with a wild bear in Dagestan, the region of Russia where he was born. Always controversial, the new interim featherweight champion Conor McGregor decided to take the idea to a new level and, when revealing his inspiration in the movement of animals, he said that he intends to train with a tiger for his next fight, nothing less than the unification of the belts against José Aldo.
“This is a real movement. You don't see gorillas lifting weights around. You see them moving naturally, in their natural state and that brings them brute strength. Control, control of posture and their structure… it's no surprise that they are absolute animals. They are machines when they move, they are powerful beasts. It's something I try to incorporate into my own game. I am actually in the process of looking into acquiring one of these animals. I think a tiger. A beautiful, colorful tiger, orange and black,” said McGregor, in an interview with the North American channel “CNN”.
Training with tigers or not, Conor McGregor He already knows what his next challenge will be in the octagon. The Irishman, who won the interim title of the under-66 kg division by beating Chad Mendes on July 11th, he will face the Brazilian José Aldo, linear champion of the category, in the unification of titles. The duel, undoubtedly one of the most anticipated in the history of Ultimate, still has no official date to take place.
