Conor McGregor's making sure his boxing's on point for his highly-anticipated rematch against Nate Diaz at UFC 202.
Diaz outlanded McGregor on the feet before forcing the tap with a rear-naked choke in the second round the first time the pair threw down at UFC 196. McGregor doesn't want the same outcome in their welterweight do-over on August 20 and has recruited six-time All-Ireland Champion boxer Conor Wallace to ensure his boxing is crisp against the man who Andre Ward believes could legitimately make it as a professional pugilist.
Check out the Notorious sparring with the Newry youngster in the new episode of his documentary series "The Mac Life" below.
It is also confirmed in the video that a special UFC 202 Bad Blood: McGregor vs Diaz is currently being filmed, which is set to premiere on Fox Sports 1 the week before fight night.
