John Kavanagh is one of the best speakers in mixed martial arts sports.
But even he must realize that he has been in a real panic here.
Just days before Conor McGregor has a big look against Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 in Abu Dhabi, the Ireland head coach is the one thing you shouldn’t do before a big fight: Give your tactics .
That’s right, Irish mixed martial arts guru Kavanagh has unknowingly poured the beans on what McGregor has been working in the gym before replacing it with Poirier.
And the second he understood what he said, Kavanagh immediately regretted it and even asked ESPN’s Ariel Helwani if he could “cut that out” during the editing process.
“Conor and I are kind of joking that the part you’re looking forward to, it’s kind of weird, that the fight is over,” Kavanagh told Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show.
“We’ll be back at the great yacht, we’re heading to Dubai, and we’ll all be sitting around looking at our phones looking at the high things back.
“He pulls it apart, but also enjoys it – enjoying the techniques, the sequences.
“Let’s find out if some of the prophecies we made are among ourselves about what will be dangerous [come true]. Will training mostly in a rectangular position for this whole camp be paid for? “
You could see the cogs churning in Kavanagh’s head as he slowly realized what he had just said on a live interview with Zoom.
With the slope of his tongue still clear on his mind, he stopped and mocked as he tried to move on from the subject – but couldn’t.
12 hours agoSo before he could continue with what he was saying, Kavanagh quickly told Helwani: “Take that away, take that away. Can you cut that out?”
Helwani replied: “Yes.”
Unfortunately for Kavanagh, Helwani, an old-fashioned mixed martial arts commentator, was not, and the entire interview was posted on YouTube a few hours later.
Nightmare for coach Kavanagh.
Despite being posted late at night in the United States, the video has already garnered more than 200,000 views with many people pouring into the comments section to discuss the horrific trend there. the focus.
The Kavanagh with a red face may lose some sleep over the brain knot.
As for McGregor, we need to see if he really changes from a rectangular position from a southern standpoint after all.
Whatever it does, you can still bet on your base dollar that it’s going to be an electronic fight between two of the UFC’s biggest stars.
