VIDEO: A glimpse of the combination that Jose Aldo could use to counter McGregor’s long jab

Conor McGregor might want to watch out for the ol' 2-3 when he steps into the octagon with Jose Aldo.
The UFC featherweight champion shows that his right straight, left hook combination could be an integral part of his gameplan when he takes on The Notorious on July 11. You can see that Aldo has gotten his training partner to mimic McGregor's style by having him throw out a long jab from the southpaw stance. Aldo then slips the jab, counters with a right to find the leaning chin of his opponent before finishing with a ripping left hook. While most drills can be written off as an attempt at improving technique, we reckon that this counter will be high up on the list of combinations that the Brazilian will bring to the Octagon in five weeks' time. https://youtu.be/AAeb_jLjB3Q H/t to TrainingWorldExplore more on these topics:
