Episode three of the Ultimate Fighter begins with a look at Conor McGregor’s coaching schedule. Team McGregor has two training sessions per day. Morning practice is a light workout that McGregor lets his coaches run without him, but he shows up to the evening session for hands-on technique work with the fighters. Since Sascha Sharma, who’s primarily a striker, is preparing to fight Chris “Gritz” Gruetzemacher, McGregor drilled a couple of clinch sequences depending on who’s against the fence.
The two fighters have both faced adversity. Gruetzemacher’s grandfather was a senator tortured and imprisoned under Pinochet’s dictatorship.
