VIDEO: Conor McGregor is back on the beach and working on his ninja-like balance

Serious leg strength

Conor McGregor has been compared to a number of UFC veterans in the past.

His striking has been discussed in the same breath as Anderson Silva’s, his fight-hyping is in the same vein as Chael Sonnen’s and his ability to draw attention is not unlike the former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.

And it looks like he could be about to give recent hall-of-fame inductee BJ Penn a run for his money in terms of balance as The Notorious showed the steadiness of a tightrope walker when working out on the beach earlier this week.

McGregor has recently finished filming for The Ultimate Fighter 22 which premieres next Wednesday and he was joined by chief sparring partner and TUF 22 contestant Artem Lobov in the light workout.

Meanwhile I strain my thigh muscle when I stand up too quickly.
