Conor McGregor's head coach John Kavanagh previews McGregor's title fight against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, his relationship with McGregor, and much more.
5 fights in eleven months and across three weight divisions. Who else does that?! No one. Say what you like about McGregor but he steps up to each and every challenge put before him. Kavanagh is a classy guy too. He doesn't try to be something he's not. Likeable guy.
Terrance Adrian CONOR FOUGHT A LIGHTWEIGHT WHO EVERYONE BEATS AT WELTERWEIGHT. AND CONOR PICKS ALL HIS FIGHTS HE HASNT FOUGHT TOP 5 LIGHTWEIGHTS OR WELTERWEIGHTS AND THE ONLY TOP GUYS IN FEATHERWEIGHT HE BEAT WERE CHAD AND ALDO SO GO TO SLEEP YOUR TIRED.
Sharief Mccoy what about Holloway,he's cleaned the place out since the McGregor fight,and give Conor a chance,only had one fight at 155,and he looked more that comfortable destroying the champ in the division
enlighten09 Khabib is probably the best wrestler/grappler in the MMA industry today,that's true. But how does that change the fact that McGregor became a 2 weight world champion and that he's an excellent striker? It doesn't change anything. I hope we see McGregor vs Khabib, it would be an excellent fight. For now just keep butthurting while McGregor is making history!
enlighten09 lol so am i an old fanboy or am i a newbie? Lol. Ive been watching UFC since UFC 1 kid. Conor is special. Period. And yes RDA is a nobody at this point. Did you see Alvarez completely destroy him and then look like an amateur against conor? The only fighter i give more respect to than conor is gracie. He's earned it. After the RDA fight i thought Alvarez would destroy conor. absolutely crush him. and conor made it look easy. i thought aldo would kick him until he was chopped down and then take his head off and look what happened. conor is different. im becoming a fanboy if he keeps this kind of magic going.
Although Conor has his cocky and "put-on" side, when he is relaxed and at his low heart rate, he is actually just as calm, collected, polite, and intelligent as this man here in John Kavanaugh. The similarities are actually striking.
if David Attenborough ever stops narrating planet earth, they should give John a call his voice and manner are so interesting yet captivating at the same time, could listen to him talk all day long what a top bloke .
I have seen a couple of interviews of John Kavanagh and I am truly amazed. I have been in his gym because I would like to learn a bit but it's hard to get there for me after work. Must be a really special coach and such a classy fella! Well done John for all the loyalty and hard work.
Man, what an interesting & engaging interview that was. I'm very new to the MMA scene so this is the first time I've heard an interview with John Kavanagh & what an intelligent, articulate chap he is. Thanks for such a great interview guys.
Because the diaz bros both have granite chins, nate rarely gets rocked. Only time he was seriously wobbled is with a head kick. Eddie gets rocked and wobbled many times, but he recovers during fights. All those mini concussions have an impact over the years, wearing down your ability to take shots
What an Honest and Humble Man!! Buy his book ;-) Ariel as well, he knows the game as much as anyone and he certainly brought out the best of Mr Kavanagh! I watched the whole thing, start to finish BTW.. Go McGinty ;-)
john kavanagh is the man! his book is dope, his and conors whole damn story together, aswell as the whole story mma has developed in ireland and everything. just awsome
Paul Guru everyone who doesn't have experience with radio or podcasts does that. People with experience usually take quick breaths like Helwani, micro-breaths, or breathe away from the mic
edward will come out with that inside kick will do him some good, conor will pressure him and edward will get flustered with that left hand, he'll probably survive first round with a takedown or something and conor will stop him in the 2nd and get TKO
Harry Potter one of those elbows, one of those knees will find its way into that sweet soft temple. he's gonna be shooting for his LYFE. 2 weight world champion. ufc history. new York. the Irish are BACK
This guy is very humble. Most MMA coaches ego's are thru the roof. Many wouldn't have trained Conor in the beginning if he showed up whenever he wanted to. Because they think they're "bigger" than the fighter. This guy has it down.
All the people saying Conor Mcgregor is gonna win by knee KO while Eddie shoots are idiots. There's no way Conor would throw a knee while eddies shooting because he would get taken down easily. I'm a giant Mcgregor fan but alot of his fans know nothing about the fight game.
L well when I got there the line was cut and the books were all sold out :( I should've got there half an hour before the starting time :( seemed lovely with all the fans as I still got to watch haha
Thank you coach for what ive been say for years! Joe rogan is the most bias commentator. Especially against conor and im not even irish! One of the big ones you can see it is in the chad mendes fight
