Most people knew about Conor McGregor long before he fought Jose Aldo at UFC 194. Of course, everyone knows him now that he’s the undisputed UFC Featherweight Champion. It took him 13 seconds to knock Aldo out, and Notorious is now the UFC’s biggest draw. McGregor has spoken about his focus on Movement Training leading to the fight.
In fact, he started Movement Training after he tore an ACL in a previous fight. McGregor tested out various exercises by himself before discovering Ido Portal’s teachings. Movement Training focuses upon maximizing a human being’s range of motion. Likewise, balance and limberness are key focuses here.
Is Movement Training the future of MMA? Well, it’s hard to say, especially after watching MT training sessions. It looks like practitioners are hopping around without reason. Such sentiments have been reflected in the MMA community, although plenty of people have jumped into Movement Training.
Perhaps Movement Training helped Conor McGregor defeat Jose Aldo in 13 seconds. In the end, nobody’s going to argue with how quick he was on his feet. McGregor dodged a powerful hit from Aldo before knocking him out in a single punch. We could see more fighters embracing Movement Training going forward!
