Many theories have been formulated on why Conor McGregor will definitely lose and “be schooled” by Floyd Mayweather Jr. on August 26th. Another one has been recently been thrown out, this time by McGregor’s former sparring partner, Chris Van Heerden.
In a recent interview with Fight Hub TV, the former IBO welterweight champion did give props to McGregor’s counter left hand, but believes all MMA fighters in general are susceptible to shots to the jaw.
"His best punch is that counter left hand, he's very good at it,” Van Heerden said of McGregor (transcript via Bad Left Hook).
