Conor McGregor boasts about KO’ing multiple training partners during his UFC 329 camp

It’s been over six years since fans witnessed Conor McGregor knocking a rival out contained in the Octagon.

McGregor’s 40-second victory over Donald Cerrone in 2020 is his only triumph within the UFC since becoming a two-division champion in 2016.

The Irishman will hope to vary that statistic this Saturday, when he headlines the UFC 329 numbered event against Max Holloway.

And McGregor says he has recaptured his best form in training, which has apparently been unlucky for those on the receiving end of his punches within the gym.

Conor McGregor claims he’s ‘knocked out more people’ before UFC 329 than some other fight camp

The upcoming International Fight Week card on July 11 will mark McGregor’s first fight in five years.

‘The Notorious’ has been out of motion since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in 2021, and he’s returning straight into the deep end against the at all times lively Holloway.

Not many predict McGregor to have his hand raised, having seen little of the Dubliner’s current condition on account of limited training footage.

But the previous two-division UFC champion recently disclosed some information from his camp during an interview with Smash Forged.

“Max is a kickboxing guy. It’s not hard to seek out a stylistic match for Max, so I’ve had some great training partners,” McGregor said.

“I’ve had some tough fights behind the scenes. I’ve been very secretive about my training. I’ve not uploaded clips of anything.

“But I’ll provide you with this, I’ve knocked out more people on this camp than I’ve ever knocked out,” he added.

“You may think, ‘It’s a bit nasty.’ That is the sport. You’ve got to be that nasty. If you happen to’re not that nasty, then you definately’re not double champion of the world.”

Before breaking his leg against ‘The Diamond’ of their trilogy, McGregor was also knocked out by Poirier of their second fight six months prior.

Holloway, meanwhile, can also be coming off a setback. After becoming the primary fighter to successfully defend the symbolic BMF title, ‘Blessed’ dropped the belt against Charles Oliveira this past March.
