Conor McGregor's training camp is in full swing as he prepares himself for the challenge of Floyd Mayweather, and while he's uploaded footage of his training, it's not what it all seems courtesy of a video of him misdirecting Nate Diaz ahead of their rematch.
As well as McGregor sharing footage of his handy work, his opponent, 49-0 Mayweather, has also took to social media to post his training.
Despite being out of action for nearly two years, Mayweather looks in supreme shape and hasn't lost his blistering hand speed. And in comparison to McGregor, the UFC champion looks massively out of his depth.

The video both fighters posted showed a gulf in difference. What's more, McGregor has also uploaded several images of his sparring detailing his ability to switch his style, a tactic which his trainer has emphasized.
"You will see many stances and many styles on August 26th! He'll have a massive advantage. I've consulted with pro refs and our game plan is within the ruleset," John Kavanagh said.
Though the illusion of McGregor switching stances could all be a smokescreen come August 26th. A video - via JFcombat - which details his misdirection of Diaz ahead of their eagerly awaited rematch perfectly captures the mind games McGregor played.

Here's a few pictures the 28-year-old has shared on Instagram which demonstrates his ability of switching from orthodox to south-paw.
