McGregor seemed to be in the middle of a deep tissue masssage and claimed to be prepping for his second training session of the day in Saint -Tropez, France, when Hart Facetimed him.
“Yeah, my man, I’m here, I’m getting a massage, I’m about to get my second training session of the day in. I’m working hard, the same as yourself. I appreciate and respect hard workers bro. That’s what you are. Congrats on the tequila with Juan. Congrats on everything you’re doing, the solo shows in Ireland. Put on that grafting brother. All the respect in the world for you and enjoy yourself on my premise, the Black Forge Inn at Dublin 12, Ireland.”

Everyone respects Mike Tyson and holds him in the highest regard, rightfully so. The man has seen the world and the fight game inside out. From the highest highs soaring like a phoenix to the lowest lows drenched in the trenches, Tyson has heaps and mountains of experience. Fight fans get an in-depth peek into his life like never before, thanks to the various podcasts and digital mediums he has indulged himself in.
MMA superstar Conor McGregor has finally resumed proper training ahead of his much-anticipated return, probably by next year. The ‘Notorious’ one suffered a horrific injury at UFC 264, when he clashed against Dustin Poirier for their rubber fight. However the Irish star still remains to be the glare of public interest, and has called out fights with the likes of Charles Oliveira and Kamaru Usman to name a few.
MMA experts and fighters are all playing matchmakers for the Notorious, while some are even criticizing his training methods. Prominent amongst those is former double champion himself Henry Cejudo, who has been at loggerheads with the Irish man.
Speaking with Mike Tyson of the Fight Card podcast, Cejuod touched up on what fight would best suit Conor whenever he chooses to return. Mike Tyson replied by saying,
“After a defeat, you should do a couple of fights to get your feet wet,” He continued, “Conor, I think you should build your confidence up and go do what you do: win excitingly.”
Cejudo proposed the idea of a fight with Tony Ferguson, who has been on a downward spiral himself. “Well, that’s a tough fight,” Tyson said. “He’s a warrior, regardless if he loses, He makes exciting fights. It’s hard to beat that guy. … No big-time guy, let him get three fights and build his confidence back up. Every fight the opponent goes to a higher level.”
