BJJ Black Belt Conor McGregor Mocked
Conor McGregor has always been known for his powerful punches, which have led to some of the biggest knockouts in UFC history. However, he has repeatedly abandoned grappling, and fans have long thought that this is one of his flaws. He famously lost by submission to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Nate Diaz.
The undefeated UFC fighter Khabib used a combination of throws and trips to quickly knock his opponents to the ground. This is attributable to Nurmagomedov’s judo expertise.
While ‘The Eagle’ has a black belt in judo, he is a white belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which is four grades below a black belt.
The Russian is skilled on the ground with his submissions and top control despite this, though. He has a lethal ground game thanks to his training in judo and sambo.
Recently, a post was made on X that showed a comparison between Khabib and Conor’s BJJ Belt holdings, which caused a stir among the fans, the caption of the post read, “Khabib could never”
The same post received numerous reactions from MMA fans, one of the comments read, “Khabib still battered him”, This was made in the context of how Conor McGregor was defeated by Khabib during their UFC bout.
But even after Conor’s defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov. Conor McGregor has been honing his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques in order to prepare for a new chapter in his MMA career. Conor recently got one of the highest accolades in this field, demonstrating that he is more than prepared to advance in his professional career.
Conor McGregor will finally have the opportunity to fight again. Michael Chandler will be his opponent in December. In 2024, McGregor also plans to compete against Justin Gaethje and Nate Diaz. But it all depends on how well he performs against Chandler in December. Many believe that because Notorious Conor McGregor became a businessman, he is no longer dedicated to the sport itself. Although his most recent success in Jiu Jitsu may serve as evidence of his unwavering commitment.
