Conor McGregor’s Coach Says He Has 2-3 Years Left In His Career

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has impacted the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) in the biggest way since making his UFC debut with a thunderous first round knockout of Marcus Brimage on UFC on Fuel TV 9 in 2013.

The heavy-handed 145-pound Irishman has dominated the featherweight division with all but one of his victories in the weight class coming by way of knockout.

”The Notorious One’s’ only loss under the promotion’s banner came at the hands of Stockton Native Nate Diaz at UFC 196 via round two submission, after accepting the late-notice replacement opponent for lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos who pulled out of his scheduled 155-pound title contest with McGregor citing an injury.

Now McGregor is coming hot off a spectacular 25-minute contest in the main event of UFC 202 this past Saturday (August 20, 2016), in which he avenged his loss to Diaz via majority decision.

McGregor’s SBG Ireland head-coach John Kavanagh recently held a Q&A on Twitter in which a fan asked him when his star pupil planned on legitimately retiring, after the featherweight king prematurely announced his retirement from the sport after being removed from the blockbuster UFC 200 card due to his disagreement over media obligations with UFC President Dana White.

Kavanagh responded with a shockingly short answer of labeling a 2-3 year expiration date on the remaining lifespan of McGregor’s MMA career:

2-3yrs
