Kavanagh was discussing the predictions he and McGregor had made between themselves before things turned awkward just after 20 minutes into the interview.<\/p>\n
"Myself and Conor kind of joked the part you look forward to \u2014 it's kind of weird \u2014 is that the fight will be over, we'll be back on the super yacht, we'll be heading to Dubai, and we'll all be sitting around staring at our phones watching the highlights back," Kavanagh told ESPN's<\/em> Ariel Helwani.<\/p>\n "He'll [McGregor] be pulling it apart, but also enjoying it \u2014 enjoying the techniques, the sequences.<\/p>\n "Let's see if some of the predictions we made amongst ourselves about what will be the damaging shots [come true]."<\/p>\n All of a sudden, Kavanagh revealed McGregor, who throughout his entire career has fought out of a southpaw stance, was training now training in orthodox. <\/p>\n "Will training mostly in orthodox stance for this whole camp have paid off?" he asked.<\/p>\n Realising the mistake, Kavanagh quickly added: "Take that away, take that away. Can you cut that out?"<\/p>\n "Yes," Helwani responded.<\/p>\n With the awkward moment remaining in the clip, whether Kavanagh's comments were serious or potentially a case of mind games won't be revealed until both fighters take to the octagon this weekend.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/em><\/strong> clicking here!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
