“I think it’s going to be late. I could see it in the championship rounds. That’s the mindset that I personally have – to be ready for that. Now, he could spark him in seconds. But I think there’s a little extra weight involved, so I think in the later rounds.”

Kavanagh admitted to the impact weight difference will make on Conor’s punching power. It was seen in Conor’s last fight against Nate Diaz at welterweight, where Conor failed to finish his opponent for the first time after Max Holloway’s match back in 2013. Conor’s cardio has been questioned before, however, he looks confident of a victory.

Not the first time at welterweight for Conor McGregor

“I don’t have to worry about the weight cut. I can focus on my skills, focus on my endurance, focus on my strength and build myself. Build myself back up, that’s what allowed me to achieve the things I achieved. The dual weight championship, it was consistency, consecutive belts back to back. So that’s what I am looking to replicate again.”

McGregor said in an interview with TheMacLife. It’s not the first time that Conor McGregor has moved weights. He is a former featherweight champion and lightweight champion. McGregor also has a win at the welterweight, which proves his endurance and strength.
