As per reports, Claressa Shields will enter Professional Fighting League soon and has begun her training. She was recently spotted in a friendly sparring session with UFC legend Jon Jones.

The Instagram page of ESPN MMA had posted the video of Jones and Shield’s sparring session. But in the comment section, McGregor stole the show. The Double Champ passed some recommendations to Jon Jones to assist in ‘T-Rex’ Shield’s MMA skill development.

McGregor, a former two-division UFC champion, took to his social media pages to offer his support to Shields.

Teach her balancing on the single-leg first. Warm-up / warm-down for EVERY session – Pick the single leg and move her around. Elevate the leg high. Push her back with it. Lower it forward etc., etc. Get her real cozy hopping on that single leg! Improve her hamstring flexibility as well as balancing ability. Crucial going forward!” McGregor said.

Have her play with her punching while bouncing on the single also,” he continued. “Finding the target of the temple of the person moving her leg around! Think coziness! Good luck Clarissa! Excited to see your progress!

The details of Claressa Shields’ MMA debut have not yet been revealed, but she’s expected to step into the PFL cage sometime in the first half of 2021. When she does, it seems safe to assume McGregor will be watching.

McGregor is slated to make his return to competition in the main event of UFC 257 on January 23, when he collides with fellow lightweight contender Dustin Poirier. The bout will be a rematch of a 2014 fight, which McGregor won by first-round knockout.
