Irish mixed martial artist (MMA) trainer Conor McGregor John Kavanagh spoke about the athlete's possible rivals. His words are quoted by MMA Fighting.
One of the possible rivals of McGregor, the coach called the Russian Islam Makhachev, who is considered the successor of Khabib Nurmagomedov. According to Kavanagh, a fight between the fighters would be amazing.
The coach noted that he finds it tempting to fight Nate Diaz or Tony Ferguson. Kavanagh added Dan Hooker and UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier to the list of possible opponents. “Any of these names. I'm just very happy that McGregor is back, ”the specialist shared.
Earlier, the Irishman was interested in a duel against a Swede of Chechen origin Khamzat Chimaev. He admitted that the fight could take place immediately after his return to the octagon.
McGregor is recovering from an injury sustained in a fight against Poirier in July this year. He is expected to resume performances in the spring of 2022.
