MMA coach John Kavanagh said that he was left "heartbroken" by Conor McGregor’s recent brushes with the law, one of which saw the star fined €1,000 for striking a man in a pub.
McGregor, however, is now in the best shape of his career ahead of his comeback fight against Donald Cerrone in Las Vegas on Saturday, according to Kavanagh, and he believes that it is imperative for the Notorious’ mental wellbeing. “The motivations are healthy. That’s him at his best. What else was he going to do? He’s not going to take up golf and sit around all day. He’s obsessed with this sport, this lifestyle.Kavanagh said that he feared that his journey with the former two-weight world champion was nearing its end after McGregor had beaten Eddie Alvarez and conquered the lightweight division in November 2016.
