Conor McGregor at His Best Ahead of UFC 246 Fight vs. Cowboy Cerrone, Says Coach

Conor McGregor's coach, John Kavanagh, believes the former featherweight and lightweight champion is in ideal form entering his UFC 246 clash with Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone.

Kavanagh took to Twitter on Wednesday to talk up his fighter, who has not competed in over a year:

Coach Kavanagh

Jan 1st, last heavy spar today before going to Vegas. Can honestly say this is the best i've seen him and i wasn't sure that was possible to do 6 months ago. You guys are in for a real treat, i'm just glad to have a good seat! #UFC246

McGregor announced his retirement from the UFC in March, but few thought it would stick, and his return was made official in November.
