“He says he will (fight again),” Kavanagh said. “I think I’ve just been around him too long, 22 years together now, and I’ve just seen him do too many things that seem impossible, and he does them repeatedly. So if he says he will, I don’t doubt him.”
“We’ll see. I think it’s next year until he can start getting back into MMA-type training. He’s going through his rehab right now and he’s back. He’s looking pretty good to me. He seems to be moving pretty good,” he added.
Kavanagh said he doubted UFC 329 was the last time McGregor would compete, but did not predict what his return would look like.
“I just don’t know if he’s done competing yet,” Kavanagh said. “What does it look like? I don’t know.”
