But Faber, who will coach opposite the current UFC interim featherweight champion on season 22 of The Ultimate Fighter, was left underwhelmed by McGregor's wrestling skills as he was taken down four times by Mendes on Saturday night.
"I don't think Conor showed he's a good grappler in the least bit," Faber said.
Yesterday it emerged that McGregor didn't do a single round of live wrestling in the run-up to UFC 189 due to a knee injury but the Dubliner was still able to scramble to his feet on a number of occasions against Mendes.
"If Chad Mendes were training for the biggest fight his life for eight weeks, for more than that, for 10-12 weeks, you're going to see a different Chad," Faber added. "A guy that would not fatigue, and then it becomes who is going to implement his game? Can Conor land punches? Can Chad land his takedowns? Chad landed big, solid punches as well."Explore more on these topics:
