Conor McGregor explains how his boxing technique has improved
McGregor was reunited with Phil Sutcliffe, a former Olympian, at Crumlin Amateur Club to train as a boxing coach.
If recent reports are true, Mayweather could be in line for a thrilling rematch.
In 2017, the UFC's superstar made his debut in the ring, losing in ten rounds against Mayweather.
McGregor was mocked for his bizarre warm-up in the ring, before hitting different bags for 12 rounds at UFC's Performance Institute Las Vegas.
McGregor was reunited with his first ever boxing coach at Crumlin, former Olympian Phil Sutcliffe. They cornered him in the octagon.
McGregor was filmed at the UFC's PI before he beat Donald Cerrone by just 40 seconds in 2020.
The southpaw showed that he's laying down on his punches to generate power. This is in contrast to the more traditional karate-style strikes he displayed three years earlier.
McGregor stated that he could not even look at the Mayweather fight, the shots on his bag or the way he was punching.
"I get shivery when I look back at the way I used to throw my punches back then. They were just floating in the air, and I wasn't sitting straight on them.

"Now, I'm getting into places and sitting in. To truly learn, you have to learn from everything. "Experience is the greatest teacher."
McGregor did not bring in a boxing coach prior to his loss to Mayweather. Owen Roddy, a striking trainer, was instead the camp's leader alongside John Kavanagh.
They will instead be working alongside the ones who taught McGregor how boxing works.
