Gunnar Nelson: Conor McGregor is very good on the ground, 100% he can submit Jose Aldo

Decorated grappler Gunnar Nelson says his teammate Conor McGregor has top notch MMA grappling.

UFC 189 will be headlined by Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo, and part of the talking points on the highly anticipated match up has been on the Irishman's grappling skills. While we have all seen his striking prowess, Conor's jiujitsu skills has largely been an unknown commodity for most fans.
