Coach reveals Conor McGregor actually sleeping in gym despite initial skepticism

What was said

"I thought it was a lie. Yeah he's not sleeping in the gym, you're mad. But he was. When Conor says he's going to do something he does it and he's all in. He had a feeling that perhaps Conor would have the room nice, probably nicer than my room at home."

Owen Roddy confirmed that Conor McGregor genuinely slept in the gym starting around Christmas through the early training camp, despite initial disbelief. John Kavanagh had previously disclosed this detail, but Roddy's confirmation as striking coach adds credibility. Roddy explained that McGregor wanted zero distractions and that walking past the mat constantly kept him engaged in training. The approach demonstrates McGregor's commitment to recapturing the hunger that defined his rise.
