Conor’s long-time coach John Kavanagh said in an Interview with TheMacLife that he thinks it’ll be a late finish. According to him, McGregor might be looking for a late finish and wait out till the Championship rounds since a lot is riding on him winning this one.
In the recent interview, Donald Cerrone said “Conor has no right coming up to ’55. There’s no way; he’s not gonna stand a chance,” Cerrone said during the presser. “We’re too big for him, too strong, so you can take your little English a— and get on.”
McGregor replied “You’re too slow and too stiff, you’re as stiff as aboard. I’d snap you in half,” he said. “I see stiffness when I look in that 155-pound division. Slow, stiff. I feel like they’re stuck in the mud almost. The featherweights they hit like flyweights. So, it’s nice down there just destroying them and killing that whole division. But I have my eye on that 155 division, and I see them all stuck in the mud.”
