VIDEO: Conor McGregor spars with Irish youngster

The UFC star continued his recuperation from injury at the Straight Blast Gym in Naas recently.

AS IRISH MMA fighter Conor McGregor continues his recovery from a longstanding injury, he appears to have found an eager training compatriot.

Young Nathan Kelly sparred with the 23-year-old, and gave McGregor a good workout judging by the video below, shot in the Straight Blast Gym on the Naas Road.

Perhaps Ireland might have another future UFC star on their hands if Kelly continues to show such promise.

    Big McGregor fan I hope the injury doesn’t curtail him too much,

    And why do people always hold their phone the wrong way around when taking videos?
