Kavanagh: Conor McGregor’s Announcement After UFC 205 Is Positive
Much is being made of the expected announcement from UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor after his upcoming meeting with Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 in just two weeks time, with speculation ranging from the Irishman and his longtime girlfriend are expecting a child, to the announcement of his retirement from mixed martial arts (MMA) altogether.
McGregor himself has said to ‘stay tuned’ for the announcement, and has yet to lead to any hints regarding to what it may be. McGregor’s longtime head-coach John Kavanagh, however, was recently interviewed by The 42 this week and stated that ‘The Notorious One’s’ announcement will be a positive one:
“I’ll be honest I’ve heard him say a few different things and they’re all positive. I think whatever way he goes with this, it’s only positive. I don’t know what’s going to happen, like with Conor look at the last fight he can say ‘Ah, alright let the UFC — let the divisions mature, and in six months’ time I’ll see what it’s like.’ Then 24 hours later he’s like ‘let’s do a work out’. Conor has such a hyperactive mind and a hyperactive body, you never know what’s going to happen with him but for sure it’s a positive announcement. I know people are going to enjoy what he has to say.”
Whatever McGregor’s announcement ends up being when it is all said and done come fight night in ‘The Big Apple’, you can bet your bottom dollar that fight fans will be listening to the 145-pound champ’s post-fight interview with Joe Rogan very intently.
McGregor will attempt to become the first man in UFC history to be a dual-weight champion, when he takes on Alvarez for the lightweight title in the main event of UFC 205 live on pay-per-view (PPV), from the Madison Square Garden arena in New York City on November 12, 2016.
