UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has his chance to make history<\/a> on November 12 at Madison Square Garden in the main event of UFC 205<\/a>. The Irish superstar has the chance to become the first fighter in UFC history to hold two UFC division’s titles simultaneously but it will be no walk in the park.<\/p>\n

“The Notorious” will have to stamp his name in the history books on this accomplishment by beating UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"ufc<\/a><\/p>\n

McGregor’s coach recently spoke with the Independent.ie<\/a> about the opponent, Alvarez, and what he brings to the fight against McGregor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Eddie Alvarez fight is a lot more of the standard that we\u2019re used to,”<\/em> Kavanagh said. “He fights with a traditional stance and he\u2019s very similar to a bunch of guys that Conor has already beat.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDiaz was the anomaly, a bit of blip that had to be trained in a certain way for but I think the Eddie fight will be a return to our more traditional style of training,”<\/em> said Kavanagh of McGregor’s last training camp tailored to fight Diaz, who is a tall, long, southpaw.<\/p>\n

\"ufc<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be pressure in this fight, I have no doubt there will be times where Conor is feeling that pressure and is getting pinned up against the fence. It\u2019s a fight at the end of the day and Eddie is a UFC champion and he is it for a reason.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been around this sport for a long, long time and as I say we\u2019re hoping for the best but we\u2019re preparing for the worst so we\u2019re ready for a tough 25 minutes.”<\/em><\/p>\n

As far as what Kavanagh’s prediction is for the fight, the Irishman says that he doesn’t see the fight going the distance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d be very surprised if it goes the full 25 minutes but I\u2019m sure Eddie is going to have his moments, that\u2019s how fights are, but ultimately I have absolutely no doubt that Conor\u2019s hand will be raised.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
