Conor McGregor's coach opens up on UFC star's return to the Octagon

Conor McGregor’s coach expects to be in his corner for the UFC star’s return to the Octagon. McGregor has not fought since he was beaten by lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov last October. The Irishman had been pencilled in to fight Donald Cerrone in July but rejected the fight when it was clear it would not be the main event. And long-time trainer John Kavanagh admitted he doesn’t know when McGregor, who “retired” from MMA for a second time earlier, will return to the ring. "I don't think [me cornering Conor] is in doubt. I'm sure I'll be there, we talk almost daily. "He doesn't have a fight lined up yet but as soon as he does we'll get the old gang back together and starting plotting, training and I'm sure he'll steal the show again, which I've no doubt he'll do. I honestly don't know [if he will return this year]. That's a question for Conor, he's got a lot of other stuff going on so I'll just be honest and say I don't know."
