Watch Conor McGregor land brutal shot on sparring partner in his garden… leaving Ebanie Bridges in awe
CONOR McGREGOR looked razor sharp in a sparring session held in his GARDEN – leaving the likes of Ebanie Bridges in awe.
McGregor is gearing up for his anticipated UFC return and has spent the past year ramping up training.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, with restrictions on public gyms, the Irishman built a fully-sized UFC cage on the site of his mansion.
And McGregor still uses it to this day as he released footage from a recent sparring session.
He captioned it: “The double goat, I have the full scale octagon in my garden with the canvas covered in billion dollar businesses.”
In the clips, McGregor lands a series of stinging counter shots and one kick to the stomach had his sparring partner wincing in agony.
His comment section was full of praise, with boxing legend Evander Holyfield replying: “Ok then.”
Ex-champion Bridges followed up with three fire emojis and one lovestruck face.
The Aussie has struck up a close friendship with McGregor and is even sponsored by his Forged Irish Stout beverage.
McGregor’s return to the cage has continued to be delayed since his last fight in July 2021, when he broke his leg.

The former two-weight UFC champion, 35, had eyed the headline spot on the historic UFC 300 card on April 13.
But he then brazenly announced he would return on June 29 against Michael Chandler, 37, in a middleweight bout.
UFC president Dana White was quick to shut down McGregor’s claim and even said his comeback fight was more likely pushed back till the winter.
And White recently spoke out to try and clarify the confusion behind McGregor’s dragged out talks to return.
He told Kevin Iole: “Only Conor knows [when he’s ready].
“These are questions for Conor McGregor, not me. I know he’s training. I don’t know what level of training he’s doing.”
White added: “I don’t know what level of kicking he’s doing right now. I don’t know any of that stuff.
“I need to know the guy’s in a full camp and he’s ready to go. Conor McGregor has a movie coming out.
“He’s got businesses that he’s built. It’s a completely different dynamic when you’re dealing with a guy that has this kind of money.”
