WATCH: Conor McGregor wishes everybody a Happy Valentine’s Day with ground and pound

All you need is love

One wouldn’t consider mixed martial arts a particularly romantic sport.

Sure, plenty of relationships have sprung up between fighters such as Bryan Caraway and Miesha Tate, and Travis Browne and Ronda Rousey.

But, typically, you don’t see much love in the octagon.

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has attempted to change that with an interesting post to mark Valentine’s Day.

‘The Notorious’ shared a video of him working on his seldom used ground and pound with a training partner at SBG, accompanying it with a lovely little poem.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Here is some precision
Ground and pound for you!

It’s so breathtakingly beautiful!
