TWEET: Conor McGregor offered a sparring session by none other than Paddy Barnes

Conor McGregor has some Olympic calibre fighters ready to offer him a helping hand in the run-up to his title fight.

Paddy Barnes has reached out to The Notorious, letting the UFC featherweight know that he's quite happy to put in a few rounds of boxing with him if it helps get him ready for Jose Aldo.

You need any sparring for Aldo give me a shout! @TheNotoriousMMA

Barnes has won bronze in the last two Olympics and, despite the fact that Barnes gives up five inches and 30+ lbs to McGregor, we reckon that he could teach him a thing or two when it comes to sharpening up his striking (which is already pretty darn sharp). With training like that at his disposal, McGregor would be foolish to let this pass him by.
