Heading into his rematch with Nate Diaz at UFC 202 on Saturday night, Conor McGregor made some wholesale changes in his training regimen. Namely, he and his Straight Blast Gym coach John Kavanagh have added structure to his Dublin-based training camp. They have structured the workouts to help maximize his endurance come fight night on Aug. 20 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Or at least, that’s the hope.
After losing to Diaz at UFC 196, Kavanagh took steps to ensure that gassing out early in the fight wouldn’t happen again.
