Elevate the leg high. Push her back with it. Lower it forward etc., etc. Get her real cozy hopping on that single leg! Improve her hamstring flexibility as well as balancing ability. Crucial going forward!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave her play with her punching while bouncing on the single also,\u201d McGregor continued, offering more advice for Shields. \u201cFinding the target of the temple of the person moving her leg around! Think coziness! Good luck Claressa! Excited to see you progress!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ufc\/champion-boxer-claressa-shields-on-moving-to-mma-and-advice-for-ufcs-conor-mcgregor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Betway Insider,<\/a> Shields responded to these remarks from McGregor. The boxer thanked the former two-division UFC champ for his support, noting that his encouragement felt sincere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just feel when Conor reached out, I feel like in a way he actually cared and he was wishing me good luck and that\u2019s what I appreciated most,\u201d Claressa Shields said (via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themaclife.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Mac Life<\/a>). \u201cHe didn\u2019t have to give me any advice, he could have just seen it and kept on but instead he was like \u2018I\u2019m going to give out this advice\u2019, and it was great; I took it, I use it and hopefully everything goes as it\u2019s supposed to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shields also offered McGregor some advice as he looks to rebound from his UFC 257 knockout loss to Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConor can avenge it but it\u2019s going to take some hard work,&#8221; Shields said. &#8220;He\u2019s been out of the MMA cage for a while, I know he had his last fight but before his last fight he\u2019d probably been out two or three years. I would say he needs to get out of the boxing mind-frame to win that fight. He had his front foot too forward, too much weight on his leg, more like a boxer\u2019s stance. It\u2019s like he needs to get back to having light feet and [being] quick and explosive, using all his attributes, not just his punches; punches, kicks, knees, he needs to get back being creative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I tell you what, it\u2019s hard to do, it\u2019s hard to cut off the boxing switch and cut on the MMA switch,&#8221; Shields added. &#8220;When you\u2019re doing both it\u2019s hard, you have to be very mentally strong and say \u2018this is MMA, everything goes\u2019 and then you have to click that button and go to boxing and say \u2018this is boxing, there are rules\u2019 so it\u2019s hard and I can just imagine that after being out of the cage for so long that his mind was adjusting and still looking to land those big shots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe probably didn\u2019t generate it in his mind, he needs to go his mind and click on the \u2018everything\u2019 switch and use every part of the body as a weapon,&#8221; Shields concluded. &#8220;I know he was boxing against Floyd but he needs to cut off the boxing switch and focus strictly on MMA for at least three or four months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of these comments from Claressa Shields?
