John kavanagh is an absolute bum. Hasn't improved any fighter in all of MMA and no one good has came out of sbg bar Conor. Conor is a special talent and everyone else training partners coaches are really bad quality and riding his coattails. Remember when John said bis tactic was too let khabib get on top and tire himself out 😂😂😂 comes across as a philosophical but he's a very low level MMA coach
Conor McGregor is a fantastic fighter, he just needs to work on mental game, takedown defense, wrestling, scrambling, head movement, feints, pacing, cage control, cardio, distancing, jiu-jitsu and not cheating
Debatable, before Conor guys like GSP and Lesnar our UFC on the map. It was already established when Conor got there, he just pulled in the social media kids.
@Anthony Hallberg he did that interview with parimatch few weeks back but none promoting Dustin fight yet, yea dude and now it's one of the biggest MMA media companies and probably my favourite since they upload things like weigh ins etc so quickly
@All_lives_matter, reject fabricated racism by govt Is Dustin Poirier not deserving? You’re sadly mistaken if you think he’s not the next in line to a title. You act like Conors walking up to the building and being handed the belt. Hmm, sounds like the haters are inadvertently giving Conor a lot of props. The fights happening. Dustin Poirier is the most deserving in the LW division of a title shot. He just inconveniently is fighting who you don’t like. If Conor wins he did it fair and square by beating Dustin and is the most deserving.
i truly enjoyed the interview. not only because i’m an mma and conor fan but bc there was literally no interruptions by the interviewer. very rare in this day and age
aC GSii his coach isn’t immature and actually has insane intelligence with fighting, super laidback and neutral. Seems like you’re still with those Khasuals hating anything that has to do with mcgregor or ireland
- "Do you think Conor is a world champion by the end of 2021 ?" - "Conor is a world champion, hahah" - "I mean is he going to win the UFC world title in the lightweight or welterweight division by the end of this year ?" - "If he so chooses, yes." That's gangsta 😅
@@jorgemasvidal3258 Conor was one of the better guys to handle khabib on the ground. After training for boxing only for floyd. I'm not saying wow Conor. But question why Conor wants khabib rm so bad
@@tylernihiser776 @Tyler Nihiser now drama queen put your feelings away and listen. If khabib and usman are champions he would not be champion. One of the best who handled khabib the best you most be delusional more than his coach if you really believe that. And that he was training boxing excuse dont even try that and put that in the bin. It was more than a year after the boxing match.. . I know you a fanboy and you idolize him but if you saw masvidal vs usman and woodley vs colby . These stylematchups is very bad for fighters who try ko oppenents thats just facts. So just because he kos standup fighters and hurting them doesnt mean he does well against pressure wrestlers.
I genuinely feel that we're just about to witness Conor Mcgregors prime. Like honestly, he's never looked better physically and mentally. To be able to hit the top, then hit rock bottom and bounce back up in the fashion he did is spectacular
@@solusmusic80 I think since the khabib fight he's really been wanting to better himself as a fighter and as a person. Like working with Tony Robbins for example
Nah dustin finna get dusted. Those switch step strikes he likes to use conor will see coming a mile away and counter all night. Dustin has a decent chin but it's already been shown he can't take McGregor's shots. My prediction is this fight ends inside 4 minutes.
@Biruk Tebase Lmao oh dear you really don’t have a clue do you. Dehydrating to make weight takes its toll on the body (funny eh) meaning Dustin was easier to knock out at 145 due to this. his chin has toughened up a hell of a lot. you clearly haven’t watched the hooker fight if you’re questioning his chin. Not talking about skill here, clown
@@nathanchristman6660 Oh, I am going to laugh so badly when Dustin smashes Connor. Dustin is the underdog in every fight, but noone seems to realise that he has the best track record in the lightweight division after Khabib.

@UCxUxTwVaQHMIzE6EY3kv3DA Conor lost to khabib, that's why.. Or are we going to be bias and act like if roles weren't reversed it wouldn't be the exact same if not worse. You were around for the obnoxious conor fanbase of his "champ champ" days right? Or were you one of them?
Well yes but he out of anyone has proved he can beat anyone within 1 minute, and khabib mauled him?? Didn't mcgregor leave the octagon that night with only a black eye?? Literally no other mark on him, he also won a round off khabib, and let's be honest conor had gone off the rails for that khabib fight. Khabib fought a bad version of conor

Okay say you had two groups...Group 1 is filled with human weapons, group 2 is Group 1's bitch. With this comment alone, you could determine if an individual gets placed into which group by if they thought this was funny or not.
Next time you are about to get into a fight show this to him/her. If they don't get it and you do, make em your bitch. If you don't get it and they do, run while you can still have attached tendons and conscious brain. If neither of you get it, bystanders will witness two people looking like crabs swinging noodles at each other barley doing anything to each other yet somehow got exhausted in those 5min.
In my opinion, Conor stomps Dustin within two rounds, got a weird feeling Dustin is going to make it past two though and that’s when things will get interesting.
I really hope McGregor comes out with the same intensity he did at cowboy, and I hope the same from Porier from when he destroyed Dan Hooker...this is gonna be one for the books boiz.
if porier comes out like he did in hooker he will get finished fast by conor like he almost did by hooker. he needs to take it to the ground and into the later rounds if he wants a chance
Unfortunately he is well past his prime, lost his fluid movement and is now flat footed and slow preferred if he called it quits after alvarez fight, the decline since the has been so obvious
@@phx1512 He’s has two MMA fights then you moron. One against Khabib, which was mostly in the ground, one against Cerrone, who he destroyed. His fight against Alvarez was masterful-why in earth would he quit after a performance like that? Makes no sense. He’s not physically past his prime at all. Maybe mentally he is, but this fight will show us exactly where he is.
Phx his foot was hurt in the Khabib fight. Also he wasn’t taking his training seriously drinking even during fight week. The fame got to his head, but I think he’s shaken that off for the pride of Ireland 🇮🇪
why not for a title, because khabib has plenty of time to change his mind! how long did conor hold the belt without fighting and holding back the whole division?
@@Shiggystardust more so meant that he's not gonna get an easy path to belt (like tony) and is prob gonna be kept on the back burner and possibly excluded because of ufc politics like gaethje was until the whole tony fight situation happened last minute. also the ufc clearly is gonna push for conor or chandler to get the belt if they can cuz they are clearly the 2 special boys of the division so id be super surprised if he even fights for a belt in 2021 (real belt that is no interim bs)
@@ambientshredder1245 I knew what u meant. But what u also forget is how big the Brazilian market is and how Brazilian champs use to dominate the ufc. Ufc would love to have more Brazilians at the top again other than nines and figgy.
@@paulosullivan3205 Dustin isnt just a standup fighter. He has great grappling and is a BJJ black belt. His boxing is phenomenal and I think we're in for a real treat come fight night.
Are you implying dustin will wrestle him to death? If so you’re in for a rude awakening. He’ll shoot 2 times and give up when he dosent get the takedown.
@@MrJaybeezy123 BJJ blackbelt is not really saying eeeverything. Tyron Woodley is BJJ blackbelt too but he got smoked by Usman on the ground. Ferguson is BJJ blackbelt and he is undeniably good but got smoked by Oliveira. Dustins BJJ is not as good as Oliveiras BJJ, there is still a huuge difference. While Oliveiras BJJ is threatening, dustins BJJ isn't
Yeah but who besides Khabib would stand a chance against Conor? Oliveira looks hot right now because of his streak but he's not invincible he's been knocked out a few times, and he's never fought someone like Conor I doubt he'd ever get the fight to the ground. Gaethje gets slept definitely, Dustin more than likely gets slept, everyone in LW stands no chance because it's all strikers. After taking the title from Jose Aldo and then Eddie Alvarez in the fashion he did is what is keeping him so high in the rankings.
@@TancheapMcFatass Eddie Alvarez is a can. Holding up divisions and not fighting anyone is ridiculous. I can see Dustin winning and Conor ofcourse but yea . If Conor gets the belt he’s just gonna stall the division for the 3rd time
Imagine doubting Conor 😂 dude been sharping his tools the whole time he’s been out. Conor is coming back to get that title and beat everybodyyyy. Except khabib lol 😂😂
@@shoreline4287 right, most people don’t even know that he barely trained for khabib. Talking about “ he’d get smashed again” Next time it wouldn’t happen like it did last time.
@@puskarthapa9014 Yeah like there coaches are going to say to everyone "yeah he's been a lot of drinking and drugs before the fight", even in the press conference you can tell he was out of it, I would want him to fight khabib again, with Conor we seen against Aldo, Alverez, mandes, etc. If he losses I would put my hand up and agree that he cannot beat him. But I know for a fact that it wasn't his 100%.
It's actually so much more interesting to listen to coaches (especially Kavanagh) talk about MMA than fighters. It gets those huge egos out of the way and cuts to the chase.
Ive been thinking that since they announced it would be there. Plenty of guys have spoke about the time difference an fighting at a different time of the day an how it effected their fights. So hopefully Conor or his team have figured it out.
@@Smoshylife Conor shouldn't have taken the khabib fight at that time. Conor hadn't fought in 2 years. He was on drugs or whatever. He messed up. Khabib was an Active champion
He is going to vacant it or either fight for saving it. Fighting GSP won't save his 155 belt and he will not fight Conor Mcgregor. Anyway he is getting his ass wooped by coming back.
@@yourmellowexperience1503 getting his ass wooped by who ? By these 2 knuckle heads which he destroy both of them keep living in a fantasy world but in reality Khabib is the king of light weight division and they're all his servants
I'm American an I think KAVANAGH is by far one of the best coaches i have ever heard speak. You can tell he is a man of principles an ethics. An im sure he brings out the best in his fighters.
This is crazy. How is this supposed to be for a title? Conor is 1:1 at lightweight with his only win more than 4 years ago. How he being ranked nr.1 in this weightclass is beyond any logic.
Regarding Khabib vs Conor... 8.48 - 8.53 "Do you think it's a shame we don't get to see the rematch?" Kavanagh says "Yeah of course" whilst shaking his head (no gesture) and shrugging his shoulders. He doesn't wanna see Conor get mauled by Khabib again. He knows it's not the right fight for Conor. Excellent coach. Dustin is a favourable match up
As a fellow crumlin Man and would of seeing Connor growing up were from the same neighbourhood.Although I am older and my path in life took a different route That said Connor is an inspiration to a generation of the youth in crumlin and around the world.And proof that if you want something so bad you can achieve it true Hard work and dedication and he deserves to be where he is. What a story all the best champ keep shineing young Man 👌
Khabib is the champ. How could it be for the title? When he withdraws from the USADA pool and is removed from UFC rankings, the title will be up for grabs again. Period.
I wish John will be the one in the microphone, when in press conference. Let Connor do the fighting, and John do the promotion (very respectful person).
Conor: Gets a title shot at 155 without going through contenders and never defends Kavanagh: I don't understand why the UFC doesn't give Conor a title shot again

@@HelpmeHelpYou-1992 really? I find him dull as fuck...
Yeah a bedtime story coz he puts you to sleep
I’ve been waiting for these interviews to start rolling in. This fight is going to be incredible.
John is such a genuine person, absolute legend.
Conor loves a mirror..!
Love listening to John, mind of a wizard. So glad Conor and him have stuck together ❤️
I really hope McGregor comes out with the same intensity he did at cowboy, and I hope the same from Porier from when he destroyed Dan Hooker...this is gonna be one for the books boiz.
That was an amazing performance!
If you think he destroyed Dan Hooker you obviously didn't watch the fight. Dustin almost got finished in the end of round 2
You really believe Conor was in a fight and not motivated? Lol.
@@RiloXRi sure, Dustin landed more in volume, of course both put on a good performance but Porier still won.
if porier comes out like he did in hooker he will get finished fast by conor like he almost did by hooker.
he needs to take it to the ground and into the later rounds if he wants a chance
You can't judge John based upon Connor's personality.
He's a down to earth fella
This guy has everybody's respect ❤️
@Vengeful Fury well your respect doesn't matter to anyone
@@Ryan-ez6mt it's hard to win over furious /vengeful people tbf..
@@heno86 HAHAHAHA best comment
If you were Irish or involved in the Irish mma scene you’d never say that lol
I'm dying with excitement. Like Conor says the whole world lights up when he fights. Can't wait till Conor comes in media to promote fight.
From having a whole entire year to sharpen his skills I think it's safe to say we might just see the most dangerous McGregor we ever seen soon
Unfortunately he is well past his prime, lost his fluid movement and is now flat footed and slow preferred if he called it quits after alvarez fight, the decline since the has been so obvious
@@phx1512 He’s has two MMA fights then you moron. One against Khabib, which was mostly in the ground, one against Cerrone, who he destroyed.
His fight against Alvarez was masterful-why in earth would he quit after a performance like that? Makes no sense.
He’s not physically past his prime at all. Maybe mentally he is, but this fight will show us exactly where he is.
That’s not safe to say at all. That’s a completely ignorant thing to say. We don’t know what we’ll see.
Phx his foot was hurt in the Khabib fight. Also he wasn’t taking his training seriously drinking even during fight week. The fame got to his head, but I think he’s shaken that off for the pride of Ireland 🇮🇪
@@farmdaddy510 excuses, he got dominated cause his ground game is not the best, but this fight probably will be on feet for the most part
This is the type of content I needed right now
Never even wondered what SBG stood for. Straight Blast Gym i see
Yup same here..
Nice one Sherlock
I do love stand up and I can't wait for this clash of legends
Either kabob says he will fight again in upcoming weeks or Dustin vs Conor will be for the belt, 100%.
I'm with you. Dustin was given the interim title. He is worthy of a title shot
Yup
why not for a title, because khabib has plenty of time to change his mind! how long did conor hold the belt without fighting and holding back the whole division?
Khabib defends once a year, got suspended and atleast Conor clearly stated what he was tryna do whenever he would win
@@elijahstark3663 how about Khabib actually having the balls to defend his belt bitch?
Winner should fight Charles olivera for the title.
Why?
Charles in the new tony meaning he's never getting the belt (will likely hold an interim belt or 2 but ain't ever getting the real thing) lol
@@ambientshredder1245 he’s not the new tony. He’s tony 2.0 and doesn’t get injured so he won’t miss his opportunity.
@@Shiggystardust more so meant that he's not gonna get an easy path to belt (like tony) and is prob gonna be kept on the back burner and possibly excluded because of ufc politics like gaethje was until the whole tony fight situation happened last minute.
also the ufc clearly is gonna push for conor or chandler to get the belt if they can cuz they are clearly the 2 special boys of the division so id be super surprised if he even fights for a belt in 2021 (real belt that is no interim bs)
@@ambientshredder1245 I knew what u meant. But what u also forget is how big the Brazilian market is and how Brazilian champs use to dominate the ufc. Ufc would love to have more Brazilians at the top again other than nines and figgy.
Dana holding up the belt salty about Conor calling him out for lying
@Thomas Poletti I don’t disagree but a lie is a lie can’t blame Conor for bringing out the actual situation
Khabib said hes retired.Vacant title Dustin was interim champion.Uncle Dana playing games.
What did he lie about
His assessment of Dustin's chances against Conor in the rematch can't be different that his assessment of Conor's chances against Khabib.
What?? Completely different fighters and styles Khabibs style smothers everyone Dustin is just standard stand up
@@paulosullivan3205 Dustin isnt just a standup fighter. He has great grappling and is a BJJ black belt. His boxing is phenomenal and I think we're in for a real treat come fight night.
Of course he’s biased towards his fighter. What do you expect him to say? Khabib and Poirier will both win?
Are you implying dustin will wrestle him to death? If so you’re in for a rude awakening. He’ll shoot 2 times and give up when he dosent get the takedown.
@@MrJaybeezy123 BJJ blackbelt is not really saying eeeverything. Tyron Woodley is BJJ blackbelt too but he got smoked by Usman on the ground. Ferguson is BJJ blackbelt and he is undeniably good but got smoked by Oliveira. Dustins BJJ is not as good as Oliveiras BJJ, there is still a huuge difference. While Oliveiras BJJ is threatening, dustins BJJ isn't
Amazing, well spoken, respectful coach.
Always good to hear from the most respected coach out there!
Shrute Farms including khabib’s dad. Both of these guys are geniuses
@4:23 “Conor loves a mirror”...there’s some truth.
Conor has never defended a title lmao. The ufc probably wants to make sure that he's not gonna stall another division for 2 years.
Yeah but who besides Khabib would stand a chance against Conor? Oliveira looks hot right now because of his streak but he's not invincible he's been knocked out a few times, and he's never fought someone like Conor I doubt he'd ever get the fight to the ground. Gaethje gets slept definitely, Dustin more than likely gets slept, everyone in LW stands no chance because it's all strikers. After taking the title from Jose Aldo and then Eddie Alvarez in the fashion he did is what is keeping him so high in the rankings.
@@TancheapMcFatass Eddie Alvarez is a can. Holding up divisions and not fighting anyone is ridiculous. I can see Dustin winning and Conor ofcourse but yea . If Conor gets the belt he’s just gonna stall the division for the 3rd time
Khabib stalled the division lw has had two interim champs because of him defending once a year atleast Conor would say he’s doing something else
@@Dock-Zombie What would you say Khabib has/is doing?
He was stripped within a year for both belts... hardly held up a division for two years.
Imagine doubting Conor 😂 dude been sharping his tools the whole time he’s been out. Conor is coming back to get that title and beat everybodyyyy. Except khabib lol 😂😂
Nah you saw how good his drunk ass did lets see what happens if they rematch
@@shoreline4287 right, most people don’t even know that he barely trained for khabib. Talking about “ he’d get smashed again”
Next time it wouldn’t happen like it did last time.
@@BL-gh3qt well Conor and his coaches have clearly stated a whole different story before the fight but hey
@@puskarthapa9014 Yeah like there coaches are going to say to everyone "yeah he's been a lot of drinking and drugs before the fight", even in the press conference you can tell he was out of it, I would want him to fight khabib again, with Conor we seen against Aldo, Alverez, mandes, etc. If he losses I would put my hand up and agree that he cannot beat him. But I know for a fact that it wasn't his 100%.
styles makes fight and khabib is one of the greatest....cant blame conor on this
It's actually so much more interesting to listen to coaches (especially Kavanagh) talk about MMA than fighters. It gets those huge egos out of the way and cuts to the chase.
Coach John is an absolute G
Lets go Artem!
Yaaaassss
Why does everyone mock tease and make fun of artem
@@theredninja2817 he is literally the goat,never lost a min of any fight,not only his fight but Conors as well,
@@ayushbhatt2527 I see what you’re doing
Nice and flowy
Finally a damn interview! Lets gooo
I just hope Conor goes to fight island 2-4 weeks before the fight to get acclimated to the weather and time zone. Cause Dustin will do that.
I hope too
Ive been thinking that since they announced it would be there. Plenty of guys have spoke about the time difference an fighting at a different time of the day an how it effected their fights. So hopefully Conor or his team have figured it out.
@Pedro Smith you are basically hoping that conor is already there
Coach Kavanagh is pure class, always interesting to hear his perspective on things
Got to love the guy, always a class act well spoken and certainly very humble
It's not for a title for the simple reason that neither McGregor or porier could beat Khabib
Right and the guy may not come back so make it for the title or make an interim
This Conor will smash khabib.
Old Conor was messed up. He has himself to blame
@@Rottilover21 it’s not about motivation or ballewn foots, it’s just that styles make fights.
@@Smoshylife Conor shouldn't have taken the khabib fight at that time.
Conor hadn't fought in 2 years. He was on drugs or whatever. He messed up.
Khabib was an Active champion
Hope Mcgregor does one there allways so insperational and Motivaring!!
Because khabib smashed both of them and conor has only fought once at 155lb 4 years ago. Khabib also has not vacated 🤷🏻
He is going to vacant it or either fight for saving it.
Fighting GSP won't save his 155 belt and he will not fight Conor Mcgregor.
Anyway he is getting his ass wooped by coming back.
Unlike others he is a man of his word. It's Uncle Dana Who doesn't believe. Dana white is holding up the title. The man said he's retired.
@@yourmellowexperience1503 getting his ass wooped by who ? By these 2 knuckle heads which he destroy both of them keep living in a fantasy world but in reality Khabib is the king of light weight division and they're all his servants
@@yourmellowexperience1503 he already beat the crap out of mcgregor 🤷🏻
The relationship between Conor and Coach Kavanagh is truly cinematic
Nice to see and hear from John. Cheers!
Finally.. I's lookin forward for this one.. Pure professionalism and knowledge
If Conor wins.
Khabib: Alright I'm coming back!
we want Conor to win for the story with Khabib, it will be an epic fight, they are the main stars not only of the UFC but of the whole sport too.
If he fights and destroys Gaethje after, maybe.
Khabib is a grappler. Not much of a fighter.
When fighters get banded. They allowed to grapple only.
@@Rottilover21 what are you trying to say ?
@@4kids555 khabib is a master grappler.
Stand up he is not a master
This isn't for a title because your guy has been on the sidelines for ages John. Most inactive fighter wants a belt.. please.
He’d still sleep all of them 🤣🤣🤣
The new reporter is good, asking the right questions 👍🏽
Love to see how confident john looks now. Same attitude before the donald fight. Looking forward.
You guys can hate on him all u want! You will still watch the fight LOOOOL
Damn right!!😁
Haha yeaaaa
True 🤣khabib is worst ppv seller
@@sh2442yam wym khabib has 26m insta followers
true ill watch it on youtube a minute after its done
I just hope this fight isn’t less than a minute
I heard Motivated McGregor once solved the Da Vinci code and the Rubiks cube at the same time
rubik’s cubes can be solved in seconds by literally anyone
And he solved that Rubik’s cube with his feet
I'm American an I think KAVANAGH is by far one of the best coaches i have ever heard speak. You can tell he is a man of principles an ethics. An im sure he brings out the best in his fighters.
Even coach cavanagh chuckled when asked about khabib. Damn.
He knows guys crazy good
“You must understand my foot was a balloon when I walked into that fight." Hahahaha
"Don't get why it isn't for a title"? Since 2016 McGregor has fought twice..
This is crazy. How is this supposed to be for a title? Conor is 1:1 at lightweight with his only win more than 4 years ago. How he being ranked nr.1 in this weightclass is beyond any logic.
Does Dustin not deserve a title shot? He deserves to fight for the belt.. so make it happen
@@Cts_99 Dustin had his chance two fights ago and he lost. Conor doesn't deserve a title at all. So totally pointless.
Regarding Khabib vs Conor... 8.48 - 8.53 "Do you think it's a shame we don't get to see the rematch?"
Kavanagh says "Yeah of course" whilst shaking his head (no gesture) and shrugging his shoulders. He doesn't wanna see Conor get mauled by Khabib again. He knows it's not the right fight for Conor.
Excellent coach.
Dustin is a favourable match up
John seems like such a genuine dude
*No one:*
*Absolutely no one:*
*John Kavanagh every January:* This is the sharpest, strongest Conor I've ever seen.
Any word on Gunnar Nelson?
Did Conor train with him in Iceland?
This isn’t for a title cause Conor fights once every 2 years.
He fought in 2020 tho so?
@@Vibes-w2y and before that? My point exactly
@@brandonskiz2193 before that he fought a year and 3 months before
@@truck9867 thank you.
Do the math. I know you have a brain
Such a chill dude.
As a fellow crumlin Man and would of seeing Connor growing up were from the same neighbourhood.Although I am older and my path in life took a different route That said Connor is an inspiration to a generation of the youth in crumlin and around the world.And proof that if you want something so bad you can achieve it true Hard work and dedication and he deserves to be where he is. What a story all the best champ keep shineing young Man 👌
Khabib is the champ. How could it be for the title? When he withdraws from the USADA pool and is removed from UFC rankings, the title will be up for grabs again. Period.
we want Conor to win for the story with Khabib, it will be an epic fight, they are the main stars not only of the UFC but of the whole sport too.
4:10 that sounds very pleasing,🔥🔥
Damn, it feels so long since I have heard Coach Kavanagh. Going to miss the likes of this interview when Connor hang up the gloves for real.
He’s a coach. Who’s to say another star can’t progress from his gym? James Gallagher’s climbing the Bellator ranks
Kavanagh is the greatest MMA fight coach. And a super nice guy. Always enjoy his interviews.
I wish John will be the one in the microphone, when in press conference. Let Connor do the fighting, and John do the promotion (very respectful person).
This fight will be an instant classic!
Done in round 1 McGregor
Man i love kavanagh, this man is a true trainer and is perfect for Conor.
Conor: Gets a title shot at 155 without going through contenders and never defends
Kavanagh: I don't understand why the UFC doesn't give Conor a title shot again
And won.
Humble dude, I like hearing him talk about the fight game. He speaks sense
This shit never ends until “we the people” stand up !!!
