“We ain’t fooled by that” – Nate Diaz calls bullsh*t on Conor McGregor’s movement training in UFC Embedded

Nate Diaz isn’t buying Ido Portal’s impact on Conor McGregor.

The movement coach worked with the Dubliner for UFC 194 ahead of the featherweight title showdown with Jose Aldo. However Diaz feels that McGregor is actually late to the party when it comes to incorporating movement into his training for this week's fight at UFC 196. In the latest UFC embedded,episode, Diaz says he has been doing that type of training for years.

“Everybody nowadays is like there is this new movement setup that Conor is bringing to the table but that was already around. That’s what inspired us to begin with so they’re acting like he’s ahead of the game, and jumping ahead of the game. "All that movement stuff they’re trying to preach, we already got.”

The new episode shows McGregor working out with Portal at his base in Las Vegas after another hearty meal. The UFC champion dodges and weaves as the coach hits him with what looks like something you use to keep yourself afloat in a pool as a child. McGregor also gets to meet Royce Gracie, a legend of MMA, and notes that his life is now all about “all day work”. Meanwhile Miesha Tate is doing lost of media interviews, and working with some radio presenters who fail to adhere to the golden rule of broadcasting – headphones on at all times. Marty Whelan would never make that mistake. Holly Holm is just checking time in traffic mostly it seems before Saturday night and moaning about miserable a week she is having. However she looks like an absolute beast in sparring with her trainers.
