- McGregor advised to ‘feel yourself grab the pain and throw it out’
Conor McGregor has provided insight into his unusual pain management strategy, which involves pretending to throw the problem out of the body.
While filmed giving one of his teammates advice on the latest series of The Ultimate Fighter, McGregor shared his insight.
He spoke passionately about a technique he uses to remove pain from his mind.
When he addressed Aaron McKenzie during a training session, he said, “Tell yourself, it’s a big deal. If you feel pain, guess what you can do?
“Put your hand on it, there’s the pain. The pain is there. Close your eyes, feel where the pain is. Place your hand right on the pain. Feel it.

“Feel how you grab it out and it literally goes there. It’s gone. Really, really feel it. And then just fucking get rid of it.
“And that can happen anywhere in the body, anywhere. And that can happen any time of the day, maybe there’s a little bit left, and do it again.
“Really feel yourself taking the pain wherever it is, compacting it into a tiny pebble in a fist, and then fucking the pebble into the ocean. There are many more fish in the sea.’
In the end, McKenzie lost his fight on the show to Austin Hubbard by unanimous decision.
McGregor’s team is now 0-3 in the first three episodes against the group led by Michael Chandler.
The Irishman is no stranger to pain management, having suffered a broken leg during his last appearance against Dustin Poirier.
The long road to recovery was tough for McGregor and his comeback against Chandler was highly anticipated.
It was thought the pair would cut horns later this year, but Dana White’s latest comment cast doubt on that timeline, or even whether the fight would even happen at all.

He said, “First of all, Conor called me a few days ago and found the first episode of and he said how happy he was to be a part of it. And I think he was here and part of the environment and everything else, he felt it again and felt like he wanted to come back and fight.
“The only thing you need to understand is that this boy has so much money. It’s like Khabib [Nurmagomedov] now. These guys have an awful lot of money and it’s hard to bring these guys back in and get them to come in and fight.
“I never worry,” White said. “We have a huge roster of people who want to come in and people who are ready to fight and people who want to be Conor McGregor and be at that level.
“For the past 20 years, everyone has been saying, ‘Oh my God, what are you guys going to do when Chuck Liddell or Anderson Silva retire? You are f*****. Oh my God. JUICE.
‘This and that. This is a professional sport. People come in here, achieve great things and retire. You can never worry about things like that. It is what it is. It’s part of the game. It is my job and the job of my team to find and build new talent and bring it to that level.’
McGregor recently came under fire for sending the Miami Heat mascot to the hospital after punching him during a break in the game against Denver Nuggets
McGregor recently came under fire for hospitalizing the Miami Heat mascot with a punch while entertaining the crowd before a game.
McGregor punched Miami Heat’s mascot, Burnie, in the muzzle in what appeared to be a bit — while the costumed creature wore gold boxing gloves.
The fighter sent him to the ground with a punch that left Burnie motionless – but McGregor went a step further and hit the mascot again.
This second punch caused the mascot to kick his feet and roll over in pain as his handlers checked on him and McGregor flinched in self-consciousness from his actions.
That sent the man in the suit to the hospital, but according to Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra, the worker may return soon.
