On August 26 \u2013 now less than a week away \u2013 UFC lightweight champ and verifiable MMA superstar Conor McGregor<\/a> will step into the boxing ring to battle undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr<\/a>. Given that McGregor has never boxed professionally, he is being given little chance of success against the 49-0 defensive specialist Mayweather. Most pundits expect him to lose. The interesting thing is that McGregor would probably defeat Mayweather inside a minute if he were allowed to use his MMA arsenal \u2013 kicks<\/a>, knees, elbows, takedowns, submissions, etc.<\/p>\n

Doing so, of course, would earn McGregor a massive lawsuit \u2013 perhaps as high as $90 million<\/a>. Surprisingly, however, McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh recently teased that McGregor might rely on his grappling opposite the undefeated pugilist. Kavanagh made this surprising comment in a Saturday Instagram post, which showed McGregor locking up an armbar on friend and training partner Artem Lobov.<\/p>\n

This technique is designed to rupture the major collateral ligaments in the elbow joint. It is powerful enough to cause an avulsion fracture. Luckily for FM he does not have to worry about this next Saturday. Or does he?<\/a><\/p>\n
