When asked about how McGregor’s recovery was going and by when everyone can expect him to return, Kavanagh said, “Yeah, I was actually only speaking to him a couple of hours ago… He’s gonna be back in the gym. He’s gonna be back on the mats now, in the next couple of weeks with me. He is doing a lot of strength training at the moment, the guy’s jacked. I think he’s coming back as a middleweight.”

“He’d be back on the mats with me now shortly. We’ll start off with combat sports training again. We’ll start with drills. I actually joked to him. I said look, I’d rather if we just start off with some techniques and drills. Let’s see where you are going. He’s like, no, I’m going five by five, that’s what I’m coming back to do. He’s very enthusiastic, very upbeat, very excited to attack 2022. I’m not sure when he’d be back, but he’ll be back,” he added.
