Things changed in a big way for Conor McGregor at UFC 194. McGregor knocked out Jose Aldo to become UFC featherweight champion and the Irishman cemented himself as one of the biggest stars in the sporting world.
With great power, though, comes great responsibility.
McGregor’s long time coach, friend and mentor, John Kavanagh, says the two almost drifted apart as ‘The Notorious’ changed his training schedule and began showing up to SBG Ireland at 10 or sometimes 11 p.m.
"No tension," Kavanagh said to Ariel Helwani in studio on The MMA Hour, per MMA Fighting’s Marc Raimondi.
