    He should be fine once he hits the juice.

    You'd be surprised how quickly muscle memory kicks in if you've just been out of season for a bit. In terms of both aerobic fitness and muscle strength / mass, if you're training to regain a past level of fitness, that can happen fairly rapidly with the right training and diet regime.

    Also, I didn't get the impression he was that unfit in the video - a combination of the adrenaline / relief of getting off on the charges and the fact that he was trying to talk to reporters at the same time, not to mention the fact that he was trying to job in a busy city area with a lot of pedestrian and motor traffic to keep an eye on, I'd hardly expect him to be putting in any kind of peak performance at a moment like that.

    Thanks for pointing that out. No one else had noticed he was there or who it was.

    Squatting with a chap the weight of Cowley on your back isn't overly impressive.... your average office lady who does crossfit & some leg work would squat 100kg

    It's better than doing squats with no added weight. And a human being was probably the only thing on hand. And it looks cool as **** too!!

    Does Cowley weight 100kg? Doesn't look it.

    Just adding it all up.

    Crowley is home

    Conor posts "honey I'm home"

    Then posts the pic of queally which was probably last night.

    Can't believe he does his running on flat ground! Is there no hills he could run? Soft!

    Not even close. McGregor doesn't even weigh 100kg.

    100kg is fook all of a weighted squat for anyone doing a bit of legwork.
    Folks stroll around without struggling with 35kg + dumb bells in each hand from the weights rack to benches in gyms around the country every evening :)

    I'm sure Conor wasn't doing that to impress anyone....shame on those impressed.

    he should be running up croagh patrick backwards barefoot at night but he likes the easy life too much these days. hasn't a hope against a guy who wrestled a bear when he was a kid.

    Both of them together might make 100KG

    That's not a whole lot of weight to be squatting anyway

    Mcgregor and the UFC trying to price Khabib out of a fight and perhaps set up Mcgregor v Diaz 3 in NYC is my theory.

    No way does Dana and the new owners want to see Mcgregor get mauled in his return fight.

    I think people have lost interest in a third fight against Diaz. For now anyway. And if they don't want to see him lose on his return then it's not the best matchup for him.
    Is Khabib worth what his manager is probably asking for though? And was he including his loss to Mayweather in that video as part of Conor's MMA record?
