Movement coach Ido Portal calls Conor McGregor ‘the espresso man’

One of the more talked about aspects in the lead-up to UFC 194 was Conor McGregor’s movement coach, Ido Portal, who showed up with him at the open workouts in Las Vegas and put on a display. Particularly concerned were the Irish fans themselves, who suspected McGregor was barking up the wrong tree.

Or at very least, an unfamiliar tree.

The Israeli movement guru Portal appeared on last week’s edition of The MMA Hour, and he said he heard the general complaints going on among the Irish. And he knew he’d be blamed if McGregor had lost his title bout against Jose Aldo.
