If
Conor McGregor beats Floyd Mayweather on Saturday night in Las Vegas,
the boyhood Manchester United fan will perhaps owe a small debt of
gratitude to Manchester City.
For the past six weeks or so, he has driven his green Lamborghini to the UFC's new performance institute on a daily basis.At this hub, located about four miles from the city's famous strip, you can mimic conditions at 10,000ft of altitude, clock miles on an underwater treadmill, or analyse the density of specific muscles.
If an athlete is to be built rather than born, this is the place. The attention to detail is stunningly intricate and it was Manchester City's own training complex which offered key elements of the blueprint.
