Conor McGregor's coach wants 'The Notorious One' to face THIS UFC sensation

Cor McGregor has a lot of names hanging in front of him as his next target. After a stunning comeback against Donald Cerrone, Cor went on to invite Nate Diaz for a trilogy fight. However, his coach John Kavanagh believes that Cor McGregor should snub everyone and fight third-ranked lightweight Justin Gaethje. During his conversation with Ariel Helwani, John Kavanagh said that Cor should fight Justin Gaethje at 170 lbs in his next fight.

John Kavanagh wants Cor McGregor vs Justin Gaethje

While most people consider Jorge Masvidal as Cor McGregor’s perfect opponent, John Kavanagh has a different stance. According to John, Justin Gaethje was one of those who wanted to face Cor. It makes a lot of sense since a win against ‘ Highlight’ would take Cor a step ahe towards 155 lb strap. However, John Kavanagh wants fight to take place at 170 lbs. In an interview with Ariel Helwani, SBG coach claimed that Justin Gaethje does t need to shred weight to fight Cor at 170 lbs. 

However, this is John Kavanagh’s personal opinion. Kavanagh has say over Cor McGregor’s opponents. According to John, Cor’s manr Audie Attar, Cor himself and UFC are responsible for those decisions. Kavanagh said, “Sure and who kws? It could be Masvidal.” 

Cor McGregor’s team is rey to slide in if someone from UFC 249 main event pulls out. John Kavanagh believes that Cor McGregor will return before summer. It could be in March or April and that is definitely good news for Irish fans.
