This thread is not to hug Paulie's nuts. In those two clips released by Dana White, he got tagged quite well. But it was a 12 round sparring, and all we got 15 seconds of footage, but that is discussion for another thread...
What I wanted to address, was the helmets worn by both Conor and Paulie during their sparring session.
Paulie was wearing an open helmet, leaving pretty much all of his face open:
Conor on the other hand was wearing a much more protective helmet, that covered his chin and cheeks:
Here is a better angle, it's not with Paulie, but it's the same type of helmet:
I know that McGregor is wearing extra protection because he is getting ready for a huge fight and it's to prevent any major injury that would put in peril his performance on August 26th.
But nevertheless, Conor had a much better protection, and Paulie, who was never a hard hitter, was even more limited to the damage that he could do.
So to keep everything fair and in perspective, keep that in mind.
