John Kavanagh would need to be convinced by Conor McGregor to corner him once again after his last fight. McGregor lost to UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in the headliner of UFC 229 from Las Vegas, Nevada. Following the fight, McGregor has made it clear that he’s going to fight again.

The longtime trainer of the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion recently went on record by making an interesting statement. That was the fact that he would need to be convince to corner him again for another fight.

“He would certainly have to convince me to go again,” Kavanagh told Paul Kimmage for the Sunday Independent. “I love him. I love the whole journey we’ve had but I’d need a good ‘why’. It might be Diaz again because he promised that fight. It might be a rematch with Khabib. But if it was just: ‘Well, they want me to fight that guy’ I think I’d say, ‘I wish you the best.’”

McGregor is currently temporarily suspended by the NSAC and is awaiting to get his punishment for the UFC 229 brawl. UFC President Dana White has gone on record by stating that McGregor fighting Dustin Poirier would be a logical move.

Kavanagh made it known that he doesn’t want Conor to take more strikes than he needs to at this stage of his life.

“I’ll come back to my reasoning. He has a wife and two kids now and I don’t want him taking more hits than he needs to. Khabib hit him with a punch in that fight that he has never been hit with in his career. And even Superman slows down at some stage.”

John Kavanagh Claims Conor McGregor Was Offered Big Money To Fight Kickboxer

Conor McGregor’s head coach John Kavanagh has revealed an offer to fight a kickboxer.

The post John Kavanagh Claims Conor McGregor Was Offered Big Money To Fight Kickboxer appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

John Kavanagh claims that his fighter, Conor McGregor was offered a big money deal in order to fight Chinese kickboxer.

According to his head coach, the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion was to receive $5 million. This would’ve seen him go three rounds with this fighter, who was not named.

McGregor’s head coach stated this information while making a recent appearance on The True Geordie Podcast. He did bring up how he gets these offers a lot but he knew that it was a legit offering.

“I had a guy message me just a few days ago — a Chinese kickboxer [who] wanted to do three rounds with Conor for $5 million,” Kavanagh said “And he was going to put it in escrow. It wasn’t like he was just [joking]. Because again, I get a million messages like that a day. But you just don’t pay attention [to them]. But this guy was connected and it was a legitimate offer. But I know he wouldn’t [do it].” (Transcript via The Express).

Not The Only Offer

This comes after just a few weeks after Floyd Mayweather apparently agreed to do an exhibition fight against  Tenshin Nasukawa. The boxing legend is slated to fight the Japanese kickboxer at Rizin 14 on December 31st. This would see the boxer come out of retirement in order to fight once again for big bucks.

The UFC and its President Dana White would have to sign off on it as they did for his fight against Floyd Mayweather. Thus, the chances of this fight happening are not very good. He’s also in the process of trying to find himself in the trouble that he’s dealing with. It all started with his brawl with Nurmagomedov after their UFC 229 fight last month.

“You get the odd funny message like that. And like I said, it was a genuine [offer],” Kavanagh continued. “I know the boxing promoter well and he’s very well known. So he wasn’t going to come with an offer that wasn’t legitimate.”
