Morning Report: Coach predicts Conor McGregor will face Floyd Mayweather next, defend UFC title against Khabib Nurmagomedov

UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor is a man of many options, and his coach seems to like all of them.

For the past year, McGregor has been embroiled in discussions about boxing all-time great Floyd Mayweather, Jr., with things really reaching a fever pitch after McGregor won the lightweight title at UFC 205. Now, almost every day it seems there’s a new pundit or associate claiming that the crossover superfight is sure to happen and that includes McGregor’s own coaches and teammates. McGregor’s long-time coach John Kavanagh recently spoke with Submission Radio to discuss the idea that Mayweather-McGregor is going to happen.
