Media Conor is back! Drops sparring partner with HUGE left hand

I doubt Conor will ever be great at 170. No doubt he has some skills. But...Unless your sparring partner has equal skills , is ready for a death match, and knows a hard fight is coming at them, beating up on your sparring partner means nothing. Mostly its a dick move. Conor has a history of selective film editing and throwing his sparring partners under the bus to look good.
 
These threads are over done when he's not fighting. Hate to see what happens if he ever returns.
 
These look to be older videos. The hairlines and body types don't match.
 
Yeah that sparring partner did a lot when he caught the low kick, can't wait to see what Charlie or any UFC top 10 fighter will do with it
 
Conor is the master salesman. Always looked good in sparring footage, then lose brilliantly.
Everytime he post something really good leading up to his fights is when he lose really bad.
I wouldn't say this is him looking good at all.

He's a shadow of his former, pre Floyd self.

He looks good and without a doubt, he can still compete at the top of the division if he takes it seriously.

But yeah, this definitely is only a fraction of what we've seen from him In the past.
 
Sparring amateurs, the first partner looks like a kid and why is he kicking with running shoes? He looked good though but he's done where it matters. Octagon.
 
His partner looked like a glorified punching bag
All his sparring partners look the same and they all are low level fighters that aren't even throwing anything back at Conor. Also the guy he was punching bare knuckle was tiny compared to Conor, looked like a Flyweight. Conor also still looks slow and gassed. These type of videos isn't putting fear into fighter's hearts. The quality of his training and sparring partners is why he's fallen off so bad. Too many yes men and human punching bags.
 
2 minutes of sparring, definitely in line with his actual cardio.
