Yet, that all changed for the Donald Cerrone fight, and it showed in his performance. He <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/conor-mcgregor\/ufc-246-results-conor-mcgregor-kos-donald-cerrone-video\/\">knocked out &#8216;Cowboy&#8217; in just 40 seconds<\/a> in a fight that Cerrone didn&#8217;t even land a single strike.<\/p>\n<p>Now, following the win, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/conor-mcgregor\/john-kavanagh-wants-conor-mcgregor-to-fight-justin-gaethje-at-welterweight-next\/\">many have wondered what will be next<\/a> for Conor McGregor. For the Irishman&#8217;s striking coach, Owen Roddy, he says it doesn&#8217;t matter as a motivated McGregor will beat anyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t really mind who it is,\u201d Roddy said on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9Tc03FSWW2Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ariel Helwani\u2019s MMA Show.<\/a> &#8220;I think Conor going in motivated, enjoying the training, the way he is can beat any of them, I really believe that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Roddy, however, hopes Conor McGregor will continue to fight at welterweight after his recent performance. But, he knows lightweight is always an option and it will come down to what McGregor wants to do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People were questioning can he carry that weight and that power up into that 170 weight class. But I\u2019ve never seen him so ferocious in there,&#8221; Roddy said. &#8220;The shots he was throwing when Cerrone hit the ground were ferocious. You know what, not many people on this Earth can take those shots. I think he\u2019s got lots of options. It\u2019s always Conor\u2019s choice. Whoever motivates Conor the most is the fight he will take place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Owen Roddy is pleased with Conor McGregor&#8217;s performance even the shoulder strikes which he says he can&#8217;t take credit for. Regardless, it is back to training and getting the Irishman ready <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/conor-mcgregor\/whats-next-for-conor-mcgregor-and-donald-cerrone-after-ufc-246\/\">for whatever is next<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with Owen Roddy that a motivated Conor McGregor can beat anyone?
