Coach Kavanagh is a gem. I’ve followed all of his interviews & he always comes off as humble & honest. No matter if Conor wins or loses he always has an honest assessment afterwards.

If you see that When khabib said you change your team he was speaking in foresight not hindsight, “hey what happened you change your team you change where you train” The fact coach kavaghna referred to the most celebrated mma star to come out of the UFC as ‘that guy’ literally shows the bridges mcgregor has burnt. And it’s sad. This coach is a proud man not a yes man and will never speak ill of his students he’s always maintained an integrity and awareness of what he says to the public.the fact is McGregor will never go back to ufc. The amount of times he says that guy, is not a person whom he sees as a person who’s close to him. And when he says I trained that guy he made a bunch a money and I’ve trained a few others who have bought houses. I’m trying now to deter other fighters from going professional. He still does his best throughout the interview to show he’s still in contact and friends with Connor, however to refer to him as that guy is literally as the same way as I would refer to a stranger I don’t know

I just love Ariel Helwani. He has such a passion for combat sports. His knowledge is almost second to none! I also feel he has a good insight into how to promote too! Watching him speak about UFC 30 Year anniversary and how the UFC didnt appear to put too much emphasis on it and how he would perhaps do this and that, I just thought he has so much to give and could be utilised so well in other areas. Just my thoughts and I dont expect everyone to agree with me. Keep doing what you're doing Ariel. Be blessed 😇

Surprised he didn't say this is a new version of Connor we've not seen before for the millionth time...... maybe closer to the fight......if it happens

Conor looked and sounded good at the Francis fight!

It feels like John says the same things everytime he gets an interview. Conor seems to be enjoying MMA for the last 3 years now... maybe have a fight instead

I think the lack of recognition of the MMA legends is simply due to the sport taking a massive leap in popularity only with/after McGregor. He made it a thing for the broader audience, even the mainstream media. People who follow the sport since before 2016 are a very small minority, I believe.

The touch butt king

Wow I like him. Shocked this guy is BFF with Conor .

The fact jonny walker and especially anthony smith are being talked about for a title shot just shows how shallow the 205 division is. Its ridiculous. Anthony got beaten up for three rounds by walker who himself was just coming off a 3 fight losing streak...? Wtaf. Sure the heavyweight division is an absolute mess because of jon jones and francis but at least the heavyweight division has a couple of obvious contenders. You could have cyril gane or stipe challenge tom and you can get behind that but anthony smith and jonny walker realistically where at the point of nearly being cut (jonny) and retirement (anthony). They should be at minimum a couple wins away from a title shot theyve both shown theyre not on that level in the last couple years and havent done anywhere near enough to back in the title picture or what do the belts even mean anymore

Coach Kav needed to be stronger with McGregor... drinking, drugs and the rest in camp, he should have refused to corner him. Long lay-off? Refuse. Then all preparations after Alvares were off-focus, tactics and gameplan horrendous. Would have worked out better if McGregor had had to switch gyms... but Mr. Yes needed hus cut.
