Sounds like 170 pounds will be his new home for the foreseeable future.
“You’re going to have to do something really big to get Conor at 155 again,” Coach John Kavanagh told mixedmartialarts.com (via MMA Fighting). “170 is a comfortable cut for him now and he’s got the frame for it. He certainly has the strength for it. He’s always had an unusual — he’s got that orangutan reach, so he’s comfortable at that. He can tie his shoelaces without bending down, you know?”
“How does the calendar look? I stay in my lane, I’m just the coach. But of course, I would like to see him busier than waiting until next April,” Kavanagh continued. “We’re going to be done and dusted early July. So all going well, a little break and then back into it. I would love to have something before the end of the year, but I’ll let the guys in the suits argue about that.”
