Prior to showcasing his boxing skills, “Mystic Mac” answered a number of different questions from the numerous members of the media who were in attendance for today’s workout.

When asked why he had passed on working out with current WBO Super Featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko, who had offered his services for sparring, McGregor had a quick response.

“First off, he’s 120 pounds. Second, he’s a southpaw.” Stated the UFC’s current lightweight champion.

Lomachenko had offered his services to McGregor earlier this week on social media.
