Conor McGregor Releases SBG Sparring Video, Reunites With John Kavanagh

No opponent or return date is set despite his “100 percent” camp message.

Overview

  • The new footage from SBG Ireland shows McGregor actively sparring with multiple partners and landing heavy shots, including dropping at least one teammate.
  • McGregor appears back under the guidance of longtime coach John Kavanagh, with cameos from McGregor FAST coach Julian Dalby and SBG coach Dave Roche.
  • He declares he is entering a “100 percent Conor McGregor” camp, framing the training as meticulous and more intensive than recent attempts.
  • He has voiced interest in fighting on the UFC’s planned White House card this year, though no bout agreement, opponent, or date has been announced and promotional hurdles remain.
