Conor McGregor’s longtime coach John Kavanagh returns to Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show ahead of UFC 257. Kavanagh (8:01) explains why he believes McGregor has improved more than Dustin Poirier since their first fight in 2014. (23:10) Kavanagh makes his prediction for the fight and says why (38:12) a third bout vs. Nate Diaz for the lightweight belt would be a dream fight.

22:55 "Can you cut that out?"
Ariel - "Yes but no"
Kavanagh said that on purpose knowing Ariel wouldn't cut it out lol No way he stands orthodox.
edit: Also, John said in the beginning of the interview that he texted Ariel a question. Bet he also said he'd say he'd go orthodox and say he'd cut it out. McGregor isn't just now changing his stance randomly.
The whole Mcgregor team playing mind games now not just The Mac
wait i didnt catch what he asked ariel to cut out??
i recan its a mind trick to make them think conors gana come out orthodox
or else ariel would have so cut that bit out cause he would definitely want john back on but dam if he let that slip then lol bro thats a huge spoiler
23:00
John: "Oh ... can you cut that out?"
Ariel [straightaway]: "Yes."
Ariel's a snake just like TJ, don't ever forget it.
That grin though😂
It was a plant by Kavanagh, he's known for this type of thing. Porier struggles against southpaw, why would Conor switch haha.
Yep, simply mind games on Connor’s part. They planned to ‘slip’ it (John’s acting is not good lol) just to mess with Dustin’s and his camp’s head a bit. People saying ‘why, there’s not enough time to do anything about it anymore’ don’t understand that it’s purely psychological, it’s not designed to through Dustin off his training and be preparing for something else over the last few days, but simply mess with his head just a tiny bit more, thus adding to the pressure, that’s why it’s called ‘mind games’. Ariel would never risk ‘accidentally’ putting it there (or not ensuring editors really cut it) and then having hard time with future interviews. Although I don’t like Ariel and do think he’s a weasel, it’s unlikely he was even in on it, Conor just asked John to do it and then kinda dismiss his ‘request’ afterwards (as in ‘ah actually, no big deal, just leave it, it doesn’t matter)
He’s a great guy. Conor is lucky to have him by his side
Why are you gae?
@@inf423.... What a stupid comment, how old are you 12??? John's a great coach, like the guy mentioned conor's lucky to have such a great loyal friend, coach, mentor by his side, especially when he had alot going on in his own life

What was it I didn’t see it?
@@whiskeyblood7258 that mcgregor trained whole camp orthodox. asked for ariel to remove it and obviously since we know... he didn't like classic ariel.
22:45
22:50 Kavanagh gives away top secret strategy. Treacherous Helwani didn't cut that out :D
Lol he’s trolling he always throws these things in his interviews which is kinda entertaining to keep up with😂😂😂😂😂
@@Mmm-gp9bb name an example plz
@@MMAchamploo it’s a joke ffs he’s trolling he’s always trolling lol
An example plz
22:48
They probably agreed on this to pass the wrong information to Dustin 😂😂
🧐
حــەمە چیەکەی لێرە
The gameplan won't change at this point. It doesn't matter what information they give(unless it's an injury like an acl tear,staph or something like that)
Mcgregor has been fighting like a switch stance fighter for years tho....Many MMA fighters can fight off either stance.
Disinformation
Wait surely that has to be a setup at 22:50. Surely.
Whole Mcgregor team in Mindgames plan
I bet u 5p

Nah Ariel just flat out didn’t cut it out. That was genuine on John’s part.
Too late to train for it.

I hope you people know it is mind games, he isnt gonna fight that stance unless he is trying to throw spinning back kicks

That’s poor from helwani not to cut that out how disappointing
All mind games bro John knows what he's doing
I think they might of agreed to leave it in but would mnt be surprised if Ariel left it in
There jk obviously he would if they said
haha that wasn't a slip. As someone else said he knows what he is doing.
Everybody knows Conor has been training for a southpaw unorthodox.
John: “Can you cut that out?”
Ariel: *proceeds to not cut out anything*
Was a joke Kamaru
@@crd88918 they don't joke over there in Nebraska
John is playing some Jedi level mind tricks - love to see it!
"can you cut that out" 🤣🤣🤣 I sense he's doing the same lol
100% I can tell it was a setup due to his facial expressions 😂
@@dagee4772 if conor comes out orthodox I will come back to this comment

Snitch Helwani
Might be AH last ever interview with the CMG clan
Love hearing John talk, he's so candid in his answers
Ariel's nose comes off with his glasses 🥸
Underrated comment
😂
😂😂😂😂
LMAO
Haha good one
Really heartfelt comments at the end about wondering whether his and conors family will be spending Christmas's together and how he thought that may not happen. Really touching.
22:48 Good job cutting that out Ariel, Conor going to fight in orthodox stance
hahahhahahhahahahhaha
Probably all mind games
@@yanan205 hahaha, maybe, his body language was funny when saying it so probably planned
Yes conor always only fight on one stance and one stance only 😂 cmon man
Pretty sure he was bating..fighting orthodox shouldn’t be a huge game changer and if Dustin hasn’t prepared for this already than his teams hasn’t done their job. I imagine if Conor even does that he will switch back and forth depending on his positioning in the cage
With all the shaving in the Conor crew get ready for the CONOR EDGE SHAVE KIT he’s going to pitch after the fight. 🪒

We’re not here to take part in this shaving game ... we’re here to take over! 😄

Lol great comment brother
Brilliant comment 😂😂😂
That is a line from Benicio Del Toro in a cool movie... Sicario
It’s crazy how real he is when coaching such a surreal character. His honesty (as honest as he can be without showing his hand) is quite refreshing. I genuinely like watching his interviews as much as Conor’s.
Yea i like john the way he teaches connor and has a very diffrent way of teaching and saying things he seems very calm
Ariel: How would you predict the fight Conor's head coach?
John: I think Dustin will knock him out bro
Lmfao
I think it's better to ask how he thinks he will win
time stamp on that bro
In fairness even Dustin expects to lose.
@@elementonly08 yeah I like Dustin but I don’t see confidence in his eyes. Sure look time will show won’t it?
John is a good guy. Always a pleasure listening to him.
He's a real touch of class in the McGregor camp, wish he got as much credit and recognition for what he has done for Irish MMA as conor does
John is a paid yes man.
22:40 So much for cutting that out...
he is joking, he definitely texted Ariel to not cut it out, its to spread the wrong info to Dustin
me seeing the thumbnail: "who da fook is that guy?"
jokes aside John looks 10 years younger w/o the beard.
He’s got that European mouth. I think he looked better when the beard covered it up.
@@JamesOsyris tf
@@NoName-fo9ty Europeans tend to have weird mouth movements. Kavanaugh has no lips and odd lip movements that were hidden when he had facial hair.
@@JamesOsyris Literally the stupidest comment I’ve ever seen
@@IIxMvPxII You must be European
22:51 hard to know whether he was leaving this as bait for Dustin to think McGregor was actually training in orthodox or not🤔 Ariel certainly didn't leave it out anyways 😂
Conor isn’t fighting orthodox lmao. Dustin had made his career beating orthodox fighters. Conor is one of the few southpaws he has fought
5D chess going on😂😂😂😂
@@magichistory3386 last two southpaws he's fought were Michael Johnson and McGregor and seeing how those played out it wouldn't make much sense to switch
John doesn't make mistakes like that. It was definitely intentional.
The edge of range. When you've got that level of control over the distance, combined with sharp counterpunching...it's highlight reel time.
He’s a wizard, Harry.
John thinking he's slick dropping the orthodox training 'mistake' in there
I think it was a light hearted joke
@@Jboy19881 wow really..thanks for that one Joe..here I was thinking he just gave the whole game away thank God you were on CZcams to save the day.. you're a hero

Fantastic recommendation also read it brilliant read
Why?
@@oblivious9609 why what?
Great interview. Almost was emotional thinking Conor could have taken such a bad turn though absolutely delighted that he has come back with such strength & vengeance. Huge respect (again) for him setting unrivalled standards. Not just in MMA but also life. Another phenomenal chapter ahead of us. So excited for this fight and keen see the Irish Warrior progressing and setting the bar for the future.
Can you cut that out?
Ariel: Yes 😅🤓
This didn’t age well Mr.Kavanagh
John: can we edit that out
Ariel: yes
Ariel: does not edit it out
Did the whole camp shave?
LMAO, would've benefited dillon danis. Dude's got pubes for facial hair
Ye its to stop the spread of covid.

@@barkruffalo9700 lmao
Can we cut that out? YES.
It’s like when John Goodman shaves at the end of 10 cloverfield lane
Third fight with Nate should've happened after the Eddie Alvarez fight but ill still watch those two fight anytime
Conor barely won the second won too. A choke out is better than a decision win. I’m not convinced Conor is better then Nate
@@jjboss7896 he's way more skilled in the stand up realm, but nate just has a zombie chin and crazy cardio. Diaz has better bjj but doesn't really use it unless he is taken down
@@jjboss7896 A guy went on to win the featherweight and lightweight championship and other have double digit losses.
@@ricardobjj24 yhea...pass up 500 millions, to figth 1 one of the best boxer ever, makes sense.
at 170 I'm going Nate but at 155 the odds fall in Conners favour, thus said still going Diaz...
Great plan sir, I watched it live. Master class
I bet John is reading through the comments right now to see who fell for his “can you cut that out” haha
Would be the ultimate "Thug Life" moment.... LOL! I never thought of this until I just read it... Nice, thx! 😜
Yeh if you look at his face it looks like hes acting to be honest
hey John haha
I disagree there with the look of honesty on his mannerism
It is interesting that he said we've been spending most of camp training in the orthodox stance. Are they trying to open up the line for Conor's right hand, or do they think he can land counter left hooks to take away Dustin's jab? That just added a new level of intrigue to this one!
After the fight, no comment.
Always fun listening to john kavanagh. Hes such an interesting person
16:38
As are traditional weigh-ins in general. One championship is doing it right with having all fighters go one weight class up, renaming said weight class to their original weight class and having them checked for body water content so they’re only dieting and not water cutting to make weight. 👍
Post shave: John Owen Roddy!
John is such a great guy, his book is a good read
thanks for the time indications in the info of the video!! new sub!!
John is a fantastic guy and a great coach . Well done John u got him back to fight.

That’s just what he’s like,watch most of his interviews
Example plz
Yeah givd the people another example since u ssid he always does this?
@@Viking4real lol I've watched every interview John has ever done. There is nothing to compare it to lol

Mind games
Such a pleasure listening to the real story behind the curtain with John. I get so excited after John interviews🙌🙌
Yes Ariel. Great interview love John and SBG.
You should of cut that out mate thats not sporting
Lol John was definitely using the “we have been training orthodox all camp.... actually can you cut that out” thing as bait 😂😂😂. The mind games they play are always crazy.
What a man John is... Absolutely humble and you can see his admiration for Conor.... Just listening to him talk about his son and Conor's son and to think about where they started and where they are now is incredible...it be absolutely amazing if in 20 years time Conor Jr and John's son are training underneath their fathers trying to make into the UFC...I wish John all the best and would just like to thank him for everything he's done for Irish Mma and for being a incredible human being..
This conversation is gold!
imagine asking connors coach on his predictions on a connor match
Right, I totally thought he would predict Dustin wins by KO 😒
Well, i think it’s more so to do with how he sees the fight playing out. obviously he thinks conor is gonna win, but how is the issue. not a bad question.
Conor*
Ariel, I can't believe you would do that to John. Ultimate betrayal.
@@robbisson6506 oh Rob loves gossip tabloids.

Thanks again John 4 the incredible insight

what a super interview, simply the best.
14:36 it funny face the john make which look like a robot when he said lets go and just stop and stares 🤣😆
Been a Conor fan, love Kavanagh, but felt he was a bit delusional in this interview, talking about Conor like he is a 6 Billion Dollar super solider. Time to eat a slice of humble pie and big congrats to Dustin the Diamond.
Glad u thought he was delusional, i didnt even watch the interview at all and i know that from interview from before. Before he Conor fought Floyd he gave delusional interviews. And few others.
Conor is apparently is made of some space age comic book material that is indestructible. It's been like this from the jump.
John is an absolute gent and ambassador to the sport
Just in, Justin took a dustin' from Dustin - ancient Irish tongue twister.
refreshing how transparent Kavanagh is.. great content!
Favorite coach & the best MMA journalist in the game - feel like they both deserve more credit
Ariel doing coach John dirty @ 22:50. "Can you cut that out?", "Yea" *doesn't cut that out*
22:59 Ariel confidently says YES. lol
Johns a modern day philosopher. Wise about MMA and life.. such a great person.
Ooooh you didn’t cut it out
Should've cut out the part he asked Ariel, poor form from you.
Mind games brother. Pre meditated to throw people off.
@@threefinkafilm Yeah that's possible I suppose.
John without a beard is a cursed image for me. Lol.
Too peewee hermanish
The Obi-Wan Kenobi to Conor’s Anakin.
Really got those vibes towards the end, especially with the hesitance in his voice when he was talking about how Conor was close to losing it all.
Cocaines a helluva drug, glad Conor kicked all that!
When's the press conference?
Imagine he cut out the part where John says "cut that out" :D
We wouldn't even be talking about this , Kinda crazy huh?
Good job Ariel
26:30 John’s polite way of saying that Dustin doesn’t fold under the pressure of big fights like Cowboy.
why isnt the whole interview on the podcast?
I have serious Mcgregor fever for this man's return❤️👍👌
I highly recommend John Kavagnahs book, Learning to Win
It’s called “Win or Lose” 🙄
You're both wrong, its called Win or Learn
John your a top man and seem like a true stand up guy max respect my friend and all the best for you and your misses and baby take care
23:00 doesn’t cut it out
“Can you cut that out?”
“Yes” (but i wont)
22:55 well thats not good..
Possibly the best interview that I’ve seen
the end was so emotional
I wonder what its like for John to have watched Conor go from broke to mega millionaire. That has to be weird.
You mean from bring a crackhead on welfare?

Lol innocent people in the comments believing he made a mistake saying that, he said that on purpose knowing Ariel wouldn't cut it to give missinformation. And you guys are trippin so hard on it hahahah, Kavanagh is very smart, he just tricked you all.
I don't think so, maybe kavanagh said it on purpose, but probably later they both agreed to leave it or Ariel knew it before. Ariel is certainly not risking lossing future Conor interviews for half million more view on this one
