More professional boxers are coming out and confirming UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor got knocked out during a recent training session.
Boxing trainer Dewey Cooper, who trains professional boxer Jesse Vargas and former UFC title challenger Nick Diaz, also confirms McGregor got knocked out during a sparring session.
Vargas was the first to claim McGregor got knocked out by professional boxer Brandon Rios. During his recent interview, Cooper says what Vargas says is golden.
“If Jesse Vargas says it, you can check it off the list. It’s golden,” Cooper said.
Cooper also said that a few months ago, when McGregor first got his professional boxing license, he had gotten beat up by several different boxers in the gym.
“Hopefully, he has gotten better. I doubt he’s gotten much better, but I’m sure he’s gotten better from a year ago,” Cooper said.
McGregor will make his boxing debut against Mayweather on Aug. 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
