Coach Kavanagh says McGregor dictates training camp: He decides how hard he wants to train

John Kavanagh might be Conor McGregor’s head coach at SBG Ireland but, according to Kavanagh, McGregor is the one calling the shots in the training room.

Speaking to The MAC Life ahead of McGregor’s welterweight bout with Donald Cerrone at UFC 246, Kavanagh said ‘The Notorious’ gets to decide how hard he wants train and claims the Irishman knows more about the fight game than all of his coaches put together.

“With Conor’s fighting IQ, with Conor’s understanding of the game, really, this training camp is about all of us getting out of his way,” Kavanagh said, per MMA Fighting.
