Conor McGregor !!!

Post by Ombrax » August 25th, 2017, 7:36 pm

Has this come up on the forum? If so I missed it - apparently Conor McGregor uses a C2 erg for his cardio training.

I came across the image below on the BBC web site, recognized what the were doing, and did some digging.

Well, it sounds like McGregor didn't do enough 10k workouts on the erg.

I didn't watch the fight, but read that towards the end of the match his stamina was gone.

Not quite the same thing as getting pummeled by Mayweather for 10 rounds, but okay.

@Ombrax - yep, Mayweather didn't do much for the first few rounds and wore him down - McGregor should have definitely done some more 10k workouts!
