Conor McGregor is the current UFC featherweight champion and the biggest name in MMA right now as well as being one of the highest paid fighters if not the highest paid fighter ever in MMA history.

McGregor fights tend to break gate and PPV records which he usually wins by knockout with that straight left punch of his. McGregor is also becoming well known for his unorthodox kicking ability which usually incorporates a spin.

Though Conor has yet to finish a fight with one of these kicks he sure seems capable of doing so. He tends to use them more to get a feel of the distance as well as keep his opponent on the defense but he is very fast and accurate with these techniques as you can see in this YouTube video.

In the video with former heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, McGregor first demonstrates his spinning wheel kick on the Styrofoam mannequin which he lands flawlessly.

His second technique is his famous tornado kick which takes the mannequins head ‘clean off’ as Conor would say. Though Styrofoam isn’t the most durable material, McGregor’s accuracy with these techniques is still quite impressive.
