- Speaking of Conor McGregor, film star Jean-Claude Van Damme made news today when he offered to train McGregor. The star of Kickboxer and JCVD said that he's seen 'mistakes' in McGregor's striking that needed fixed.

Van Damme appeared on Bruce Buffer's podcast, It's Time!, and spoke about McGregor. Thanks to MMA Fighting for the transcript.

"McGregor is a great fighter if he can use his legs as good as his fists. What he has that not too many people have is the eye. (Fedor) Emelianenko was not really in shape, but his eye. He's got that, but what McGregor has is hunger and he's training every day. After this fight I would love to spend some time with him to elevate the knee even better and not make mistakes. Turning around like that, it's fantastic. He's got the speed but a guy like Aldo can get inside him. That's dangerous."
