The coach of Conor McGregor John Kavanagh expressed confidence that his fighter will be able to cope with the wrestling skills of Khabib Nurmagomedov and knock out the Russian in two rounds. The coach does not doubt that this fight will take place before the end of 2018.
"For me as a fan of mixed martial arts, this fight is interesting. This is a classic puncher vs grappler fight. They are both versatile fighters, but Conor's abilities in the stance, the pain and suffocation skills will bring troubles to Khabib.
"I think that this fight will be similar to Eddie Alvarez bout. You can watch the second match between McGregor and Diaz - Conor clearly demonstrated that he can perfectly defend himself against the net. Remember the battle with Alvarez, when Eddie tried to transfer Conor to the canvas near the net. Conor did a great job with it. We are seriously working on these skills.
"Conor knocks Khabib out in two rounds. I can not imagine that this fight will not take place this year," John Kavanagh said.
