Although McGregor has had major breakthroughs in his businesses, his desire to fight and take over the Octagon again, is what the fans appreciate about him. To do that, one of the major requirements is intense training. However, the ‘Mystic Man’ has been missing out on his training. 

John Kavanagh revealed Conor McGregor’s inconsistency in training

Back in June 2022, Kavanagh had a talk with the ‘Irish Mirror’. Without a doubt, the talks revolved around ‘Mystic Mac’. He revealed McGregor missed a few days of training, although his recovery was going well. The coach said, “What might be shocking to a lot of people is that probably in the last year he’s missed maybe five or six days of training. And everytime I say that people roll their eyes and go ‘Ah I’ve seen him on Instagram.’ But Instagram catches a glimpse of every other day. But when it comes to day-to-day training, he’s missed a handful of days in the last year.”
