"Without wanting to make everybody's head explode, regardless of what way this fight is sold, I think it's still going to be known who the champion is. I know that's going to upset a lot of people, but there you go. That's my opinion on it." "If it happens that they fight each other and if it happens it's for the belt, they're both going to think to themselves at night that they've got to beat Conor to be really seen as the champ. That's how I see it."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/951501799286099968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportsjoe.ie%2Fmma%2Fufc-preparing-strip-conor-mcgregor-147312 McGregor has fought just once in the UFC's 155 lb division. The Boston headliners have a combined total of 21 UFC lightweight contests. However, Kavanagh still sees McGregor as the king of the weight class because of the manner in which he won the belt against Eddie Alvarez.
"The way Conor won that belt, he didn't decision someone or he didn't edge out anyone. I've always liked Eddie anyway. His fights are always incredible, great warrior, great person blah blah blah blah blah, but nobody can look at that fight and not say it wasn't completely one-sided. It was not any way a close fight." "So Conor won that belt with an exclamation mark, with a statement. He is the champion. He is the lightweight champion and that's that."That's that, so.
