Sonnen also backed coach Kavanagh’s claims in his podcast. The former fighter rated his coach very high and feels he doesn’t bluff. He said, “Well, I would tell you this. Coach Kavanagh does not have a history of bluffing. He’s always very straight. Look, I think that Conor McGregor is the better fighter. I think Conor McGregor is quicker. He’s a little bit longer. He’s got a much more awkward style. Chandler is more straightforward. But I don’t know that I can say that Conor McGregor is a better competitor.”

McGregor seems ready for his comeback fight at UFC 303, and his preparations are in full swing. He keeps his fans updated with his unique training videos and inspirational messages. McGregor is looking super sharp in his training sessions and showing no sign of any difficulty. But how exactly does his coach feel? Let us find out.

John Kavanagh is super impressed with Conor McGregor’s preparation.

John Kavanagh has been watching Conor McGregor from close quarters for quite some time now. The Dubliner is known for his intense work ethic and supreme confidence in his abilities. However, he still needs some guidance to sharpen his skills before his UFC 303 fight. With rumors floating around about him being 100% percent, coach Kavanagh recently shared an update about his preparations and what exactly he needs to do. Coach Kavanagh seemed super impressed and said, “He’s looking super sleek out there. There are fighters who, when they’re not fighting, and after a while, it’s difficult to explain to somebody, a lot of guys watching this that are 15, pro fighting, it starts becoming a job.”

However, he also pointed out that he has yet to return to full fitness and that there is still room for improvement. He added, “Of course, we’ve got to get the rounds in and get the conditioning up so it’s ready for competition, but his technique is as sharp as ever.” McGregor’s absence from the Octagon has raised a lot of questions about his legacy. Some experts have even predicted a loss for the former champion in his comeback fight. But the fans can only hope to see a fully fit Conor McGregor in action.
