McGregor's trainer: Conor had incredible strength as a teenager

Permanent mentor of the former UFC champion in two weight categories Conor McGregor John Kavanagh said that already in his teens, the Irishman surprised him with his extraordinary physical abilities.

“As a teenager, he possessed incredible strength. He was able to spar with grown men who were heavier than him. I especially remember one guy who was a decent light heavyweight. He weighed more than 90 kg, and Conor weighed 20 less. And Conor hit him with a powerful blow, it was hard. I’ve never seen anything like this,” the specialist said in an interview with SBG Ireland.

Let us remember that McGregor has not entered the Octagon since July 2021, when he broke his leg in a fight with Dustin Poirier and lost by technical knockout. The Irishman's return is expected to take place early next year.
