McGregor vs. Alvarez
As for what’s next in McGregor’s career, Kavanagh says a quick 12-week turnaround for UFC 205 in New York isn’t out of the question due to the simple fact that aside from the end of the third round in the Diaz fight, McGregor didn’t really take a lot of damage.
“If you watch it back in slow-motion, most of the shots from Diaz were either rolled, parried or landed with the forearm. There were very few decent connections,” said Kavanagh.
McGregor shouldn’t have trouble going back to featherweight, but that’s not what Kavanagh wants for him…
Kavanagh says he’s leaning towards McGregor taking a fight at lightweight against the champion Eddie Alvarez and campaigning at that weight moving forward.
“From a personal point of view, my own preference would be a lightweight title bout against reigning champion Eddie Alvarez next,” said Kavanagh.
“If and when that fight is announced, I would be leaning towards a second-round knockout in Conor’s favour.”
So there you have it folks. Kavanagh says McGregor should fight Alvarez next and that he’ll only need two rounds to get the job done, and finally fulfill his goal of being a two-weight champion in the UFC.
