UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor is known for his\u00a0incredible diligence in the gym<\/a>. Whether you love him or hate him<\/a>, its difficult to not to admire\u00a0the focus he showcases when it comes to his training. According to famed MMA nutritionist George Lockhart,<\/a>\u00a0who handles the dietary side of McGregor’s camp, the champ’s discipline also extends to his nutrition.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Iain Kidd of BloodyElbow<\/a>, Lockhart explained that McGregor is one his most disciplined clients, which makes him a joy to work with.<\/p>\n

\n

“What\u2019s crazy is, a lot of times I will go out to a fighter\u2019s camp and they\u2019ll tell me they\u2019re following the program [from FitnessVT.com<\/a>], then I look in the refrigerator and the cabinets, and there\u2019s literally nothing on the program in there” Lockhart explained. “When I went out to Conor\u2019s, everything was there.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I\u2019ll ask Conor if he has done something I asked, and he\u2019ll look at me like ‘Yeah, you said to do it!” It\u2019s hard to get used to [someone being so disciplined],” the nutritionist continued. “One thing I love about him is every time it\u2019s time for him to eat, he asks exactly what he should eat. Conor is very particular about his coaches, and this is why he does so well. Whether it\u2019s his jitz coach, his striking coach, his nutrition coach – whatever it is – once he finds the one he has full confidence in, he puts his full trust in that individual. He lets me do my job, which makes my job crazy easy. I love working with him.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I work with a lot of amazing fighters and champions. You start realizing there\u2019s commonalities with the guys at the very top level. Those are the guys that are easiest to work with. They ask you what they need to do, and it gets done. I work with Rafael Dos Anjos, Frankie Edgar and others, and my partner Daniel Leith works with Luke Rockhold and Daniel Cormier, and you see commonalities between these guys. You see what makes a champion a champion. Conor is at the top of the game right now, he\u2019s at the top of the combat sports world, and you can see why he is where he is right now.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
