Coach Kavanagh says McGregor has ‘got a hundred opponents lined up’ for UFC return

Coach John Kavanagh says there will be no shortage of opponents lining up to fight Conor McGregor when the Irishman eventually returns to the octagon next year.

McGregor is currently sidelined due to injury and will likely be out of action until mid-2022 at the earliest, but Kavanagh says there will be no ‘warm-up’ fight in his return and that the SBG Ireland star will be diving in straight at the deep end.

“He’s got a hundred opponents lined up it would appear. But let’s just get back training, let’s test the leg and test everything, and when the time comes, I’m sure he won’t be short of choice,” Kavanagh told Submission Radio during a recent interview.
