'It teaches you to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations,' he said. Kavanagh is now involved with the 20-Week MMA Alta Warrior Training Program that is designed to turn average humans into MMA warriors over 100 unique lessons that are designed to improve their physical and mental strength.Ĭonor McGregor prepares to fight Dustin Poirier in their lightweight bout during UFC 264 at T-Mobile Arena in 2021. 'So facing impossible tasks is nothing new for Conor.' 'I'm almost used to people at this stage telling us what's not possible and then Conor going out and achieving it. 'Then there is no way you can go up another weight class and get a couple of wins there. 'Then everybody said there is no way that he can go up in a weight class and have two belts at the same time. 'Then getting ready for (José) Aldo I was told (Mendes) was a fluke, that there was no way that (McGregor) was going to beat someone that has not been beaten in 10 years. 'I remember being told for a long time that an Irish guy with no lifelong wrestling experience could never beat someone like (UFC champion) Chad Mendes - and then he did,' he said.
But Kavanagh wouldn't dare doubt his protégé. It has many doubting that McGregor can come back and achieve his goal of winning a UFC title in a third weight class, potentially against YouTube star Jake Paul. He has lost three of his last four UFC bouts, is recovering from a major injury - the kind that has ended the careers of athletes across all codes of sport - and will blow the candles out on his 34th birthday cake in July this year. A lifetime of trash talk and bold actions (with a sprinkling of arrests for good measure) have made him the pantomime villain for many. McGregor's big talk and wild behaviour has earned him a lot of fans, but it has also earned him a lot of enemies who don't want to see him succeed. 'Whatever weight class it happens to be, whether it is lightweight or welterweight he is talking about now, he'll make it there professionally and comfortably.' 'I don't think it's going to be a problem with the weight coming off and he can get back to his more aerobic style training, hitting pads and running and everything else. So he spent that time getting strong and now he is starting to work up the fitness again and he is bouncing around. 'Most strength and conditioning coaches will tell you it is easier to get fit but it is quite difficult to get strong. 'He got into weight lifting because of the inability to do anything else with the ankle for a while and he certainly gained a lot of strength which is not the worst thing in the world. 'Conor has a certain mentality with whatever he's doing, he tends to do it to an extreme level. 'He has had a lifetime of experience of making weight, he's never missed it. 'I've never heard someone complain that they got too strong, put it that way,' Kavanagh said. His trainer John Kavanagh said the extra bulk would not hinder McGregor and that he was busy building his fitness base back up for his competitive return to the UFC octagon. With his cardio ability limited because the horrific leg break he suffered at UFC 264, McGregor has instead focused on getting massive in the gym.
