Look I've been watching MMA since 94. Yes, knees, kicks, etc. are thrown to body but at what volume? It's no the same as getting punched in the body PLENTY of times within three minutes then having to do that 12x.
I've seen all of McGregor's fights starting since the Ivan Buchinger fight and he's barely taken ANY damage other than against Mendes (who took it on two weeks notice) where he got taken down and blasted to the face a few times and the two Diaz fights. In neither of those fights did he take a ton of body shots or even if any.
Can he avoid punishment to the face and body against Mayweather? Probably not unless he miraculously takes him out early. Otherwise he'll gas just the way he started to gas against Diaz and yes he also started to gas in the rematch but bit down and gritted it out.
