‘Cowboy’ Cerrone’s head coach on Conor McGregor: ‘We just have to worry about a left hand and that first round’

If Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone avoids Conor McGregor’s powerful left hand and he gets past the first eight minutes of the fight, he should walk away victorious at UFC 246.

That’s according to his head coach Jafari Vanier, whose job not only involves getting Cerrone ready for the fight on Jan. 18 but he needs to analyze everything that McGregor brings into the five round, main event showdown.

“If I were to look at the two, he’s got a lot more to worry about than we do,” Vanier said about McGregor on Cerrone’s “More Than a Cowboy” series on Amazon.
