Conor McGregor doesn’t give much value to Max Holloway training with the previous champ.

Ahead of what is ready to be an enormous clash within the UFC 329 predominant event, ‘Blessed’ isn’t ruling out the potential of staying at welterweight after this weekend.

McGregor calls Holloway’s team ‘Mickey Mouse team’ as he reacts to JDM training

Della Maddalena lost his title in his first title defense last November when he took on Islam Makhachev.

Since then, he has only fought once, losing in extremely dominant fashion when Carlos Prates knocked him out within the third round earlier this yr.

And after hearing that Holloway has drafted in the previous champion to assist him prepare for this Saturday, the previous UFC double champion has offered his response.

“That’s not gonna cut it,” McGregor said throughout the UFC 329 media day.

“Not a nasty selection, why not? I see the little pitty pat Mickey Mouse club training, it looks like a team of amateur f——, it’s not on the extent, it’s not gonna cut it for the ferocity that will likely be before him within the Octagon, in addition to the array of weaponry. They will each get it,” he continued.

Often, the 37-year-old’s camp is amazingly well-documented and fans are capable of see the type of shape he’s on with videos he shares on social media.

This time around, though, McGregor’s camp has been kept extremely private and away from the media.

Despite that, his head coach John Kavanagh recently revealed that McGregor has been sleeping within the gym for several months during his UFC 329 fight camp.

And that has led to one in every of his other coaches claiming that he has never seen the Irishman look so good, despite it being his first fight in five years.

How much greater than Holloway will McGregor actually be?

When the 2 first met 13 years ago, they were each still growing into their frames and budding into featherweights.

McGregor stands 5’9″ tall and holds a 74-inch reach. And although Holloway is two-inches taller than the Irishman, he only has a 69-inch reach, which is significantly lower than McGregor’s.

Only time will tell, though, whether Holloway’s volume could make McGregor crumble, or if the 37-year-old will land one in every of his thunderous left hands, becoming just the second fighter to knock out ‘Blessed’.
