He emphasized that once the financial incentives are removed, one truly understands an individual’s true aspirations. Kavanagh underscored that McGregor had not adopted leisurely pursuits such as golf or fishing but rather remained unwavering in his commitment to training and nutrition. He revealed that the Irish superstar did not take lengthy vacations. He brought a gym with him, his trainers, and nutritionists wherever he went. This has been the case since his leg injury, and Kavanagh revealed that it has not changed.
