Motivated Conor McGregor Would Beat Kamaru Usman, Colby Covington, Coach Says

Conor McGregor is definitely retired.

For real this time. Not like the previous two retirements over the last four years when McGregor quickly jumped back into the Octagon for lucrative fight deals.

In fact, McGregor is so retired that his longtime coach, John Kavanagh, only brought up two potential bouts for the Irishman during a Q&A earlier this week.

According to TMZ Sports, Kavanagh was asked if McGregor could beat welterweight champion Kamaru Usman or the No. 2-ranked fighter in the weight class, Colby Covington.

"If there's a very motivated Conor, I think he beats any of them," Kavanaghsaid.
