On a recent Periscope Q&A with fans, the SBG Ireland head honcho called his shot forUFC 202, predicting that McGregor will score a fourth-round finish over Nate Diaz in the Aug. 20 rematch.
Kavanagh added that McGregor's preparation for Diaz has been "100 times more serious" this time around and reiterated that McGregor "got tired" early in the first fight by throwing "too many power shots."
Diaz famously beat McGregor at UFC 196, stunning the UFC featherweight champion by submitting McGregor with a second-round rear-naked choke on less than two weeks' notice.
Diaz and McGregor are scheduled to run things back next month at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV in the headlining bout of UFC 202. The pay-per-view will likely be one of the biggest of 2016, with the UFC hoping it eclipses the stellar mark of 1.5 million pay-per-view buys set by UFC 196.
