Conor McGregor trains in isolation amidst coronavirus outbreak, watch

The deadly coronavirus outbreak has forced major countries across the globe to be confined indoors. Needless to say, major sporting events have been called off and we still don’t know when things will get back to normal. However, the coronavirus outbreak has failed to stop UFC fighters from training hard for their future bouts. Lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is reportedly training alone for his upcoming fight against Tony Ferguson (UFC 249) which is still on the verge of happening on April 19. On the other hand, Conor McGregor was recently spotted training alone. The video has taken netizens by surprise since the Irishman is yet to give up on his striking practice despite being forced to stay inside.
