Conor McGregor's coach John Kavanagh has insisted that the UFC legend has maintained his motivation ahead of his UFC return, branding his fighter as "obsessed" about the sport.
The Irishman is a former two-weight world champion, and will have spent over two years out of action when he makes his comeback against Michael Chandler later this year. He will coach alongside Kavanagh opposite Chandler and his team on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter before they fight at season's end in a massive pay-per-view clash.
Kavanagh admitted that he had concerns about his fighter's motivation after becoming a massive superstar, winning world honours twice over and making obscene amounts of money. But he has been spending more and more time with McGregor over the last few weeks, and was pleasantly surprised by the intensity of his training.
