Conor McGregor's Head Coach John Kavanagh on UFC Return, Sleeping in Gym, Staying Loyal During Lows
What was said
"I would say this last six months training and how he's approached it might be the hardest and most dedicated six months he's done since I've known him. I don't say that lightly."
Despite coaching Conor McGregor for over 20 years through his most successful periods, John Kavanagh stated the recent six-month training camp may represent the most dedicated stretch of McGregor's career. Kavanagh emphasized that McGregor's calm demeanor heading into fight week stems directly from knowing he completed every training session and made no compromises. The coach noted that true confidence only comes from being unable to lie to yourself about the work you've put in.
