WATCH: Conor McGregor focuses on cardio in first episode of UFC Embedded

The day edges closer…

UFC 202 creeps towards us this weekend and you know what that means… yes, the long anticipated rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz is nearly upon us.

The pair face off on August 20 and to hype the match, the UFC have released the first episode of their vlog series following the fighters in the week of the fight.

McGregor and Diaz are front and centre in the first episode as we follow The Notorious during his media workouts and also as he emphasises his cardio ahead of the five round fight.

With cardio being cited as an issue for McGregor in his last fight, it’s unsurprising to see him out focussing heavily on that area… with a little help from 1990 Irish road champion Dr Julian Dalby.

Although we do prefer this video of him on a bike…
