Conor McGregor knows you're laughing at his movement drills, but 'it paid off' for him

Conor McGregor's movement drills with ponytailed coach Ido Portal were a daily highlight of UFC Embedded over the last week. McGregor was putting out candles with his fists. Or dancing on the beach. Or something else that looked completely ridiculous compared to everyone else's preparation.

"The Notorious" became the undisputed UFC featherweight champion by knocking out Jose Aldo in just 13 seconds Saturday night in the main event of UFC 194 in Las Vegas.
