Will Smith shows off impressive physique after training session with UFC star Conor McGregor's coach

Hollywood star Will Smith has shown off the impressive results of a gruelling fitness session with the coach of UFC star Conor McGregor.

Smith, 52, is documenting his fitness journey in a Youtube titled "Best Shape of My Life," after admitting he had let himself go during Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.

"This is the body that carried me through an entire pandemic and countless days grazing thru the pantry," Smith wrote on Instagram earlier this month. "I love this body, but I wanna FEEL better. No more midnight muffins."

But the early signs are that Smith is already reaping the rewards of his new regime.

UFC star McGregor's coach John Kavanagh posted a photo of the pair on Instagram, writing: "Good fun today putting @willsmith thru a @wimp2warrior style program at the @nas_sc this morning. The man is a WARRIOR!"

Both men are in Dubai, with Kavanagh in the Middle East to train McGregor for his upcoming trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in July.

Jiu-jitsu black belt Kavanagh, the founder of Straight Blast Gym, has been training McGregor since his early days in mixed martial arts.
