Conor McGregor is set to face Jose Aldo at UFC 189 on July 11th and win or lose, he has a legend ready to help him train afterwards. Movie star Jean Claude Van Damme is best known known for his martial arts movies and patented high leg kicks. Van Damme spoke on Bruce Buffer’s It’s Time podcast and says he’s ready to give Conor a helping hand.

“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.”
Van Damme would be a great guy to have in your corner but he’s not a real trainer. McGregor loves the entertainment so I imagine he would love to have Van Damme at his back. At least it could make for a great movie right?
