What next for McGregor? The man himself insists he is not done, his coach John Kavanagh wants him fully committed to a gruelling, old-school training camp, UFC president Dana White is teeing up old foe Dustin Poirier and a rake of other fighters are still keen on a 'red panty night'.
Audie Attar, McGregor's manager, is in California for UFC 232 and he told MMA Betz about the Dubliner's future plans. Attar said:

"Everything [else] is normal; just keep it moving. Conor didn't enjoy the loss and he's looking to avenge that loss, but it is what it is. That's kind of the attitude he has. "He has moved on with his life and he's launched his Proper 12 whiskey, so he's been busy with that, and he has a growing family. They are expecting another child soon. "And he's really just focusing on getting back in the gym consistently so when he does make that step back into The Octagon, that he is ready to go and he's at his best."https://youtu.be/NTT3TnIisuQ The 'gym consistently' comment is in line with what White and Kavanagh have touched on in recent weeks. If McGregor can get that drive back, 2019 could be another one to remember.
