Mr Miyagi would be proud of this technique.

As the anticipation for UFC 194 builds, fight fans have been given some exclusive footage of what goes on behind closed doors with the terrific fly on the wall series “UFC Embedded”.

The latest preview clip begins with middleweight champion Chris Weidman and the number one contender Luke Rockhold but the most interesting footage revolves around The Notorious – at the 5:40 mark – as we get an insight into what his movement training is like.

That’s not all though because there’s a brilliant segment that features McGregor and Gunnar Nelson playing with iPhone Apps and punching candles.

To paraphrase Mr Miyagi “flame on, flame off”.
