John Kavanagh recently said that he would almost bet anything that a bout with Khabib Nurmagomedov happens in 2018. Conor McGregor’s striking coach Owen Roddy believes the return happens soon as well.
While he says Khabib is the most likely option, the talk about Georges St-Pierre possibly dropping down to lightweight also intrigues him. Mostly, it seems like Roddy would enjoy the challenge of coming up with a game plan to stop these two top notch wrestlers.
“We’ll find the threats and look at how to nullify them. Then we look at the flaws and see how we capitalize on them,” Roddy said during the opening of their new SBG gym in Ireland.
