While McGregor has faced a series of losses, Van Winkle remains confident in his abilities. He recognizes that McGregor has been out of the Octagon for quite some time. However, he believes that this hiatus has only fueled the fighter’s motivation.
“I won’t go against Conor. He’s worked incredibly hard to come back. I just saw the trailer for his documentary and it’s going to document his journey coming through that injury. I don’t know, I feel like you can’t count that guy out, I feel like he’s been down for quite a while. He’s lost what four in a row three-row? I put my money on him though.
