“At the moment it will be me, John (Kavanagh) and possibly Artem (Lobov), and I think there is a fourth. Obviously, he will have to get his own “cut man” (responsible for taking care of the athlete's cuts in the fight) and things like that. He hasn't defined that yet. But it will definitely be me, John and Artem”, declared Owen, who, however, admitted that another coach could be added to the team, if his pupil deems it necessary.

When asked about McGregor's chances in the duel against Mayweather, Roddy recalled the times the Irishman shocked the world, and assured that the UFC lightweight champion will defeat the boxer, who is undefeated, having won all 49 of his fights. career.

“Conor wouldn’t do this if he didn’t believe 100% that he could win. We all believe him. He shocks the world every time, whenever we fight comments come that we can't do this or that, but we always prove otherwise. We have a plan to follow and, if everything goes well, we will emerge victorious. I have no doubt in my mind that he will beat Floyd Mayweather”, concluded the trainer.
