Loved the reveal that they drilled fake knockdowns ahead of Diaz 2 to simulate Conors responses to it. Also great to hear that even if pro-MMA fades away in Ireland in the future that John will stick at the martial arts coaching for the love of it.

It all goes back to the point that Kavanagh is doing things very, very well. We mightn't see another McGregor-level fighter come out of SBG again, but I'm certain there will be a few not a million miles off it.

I was super impressed by his knowledge and how he crafted his questions. Most interviews John gets asked the same stuff and can rattle off the answers in his sleep. In this one, he really had to think and that's always a sign of a great interview.

wonderfullife wrote: » Sean Sheehan lol yeah i said on this thread he really blew the questions. To be fair he's a good listen on the podcast but he sounded nervous in the conference call. How hard would it be to just relax and be natural?! Get on the phone saying "Conor what's the craic, can you just tell us how it felt to get a solid camp in at home for this one?". Instead he effectively asked him would he be throwing spinning sh1t this fight. Actually he asked both fighters questions they couldn't answer. Complete fail.

Andrew is obviously with the Mac Life now but sure you don't need experience to sit in your boxers in your bedroom and make a phone call. If anything you'd imagine it's the most relaxed you could be. If it was face-to-face i'd give him some leeway lol. I highly doubt Sheehan will be taking over any interviews. He very rarely attends any domestic mma events. He recently got a job with Sherdog as well - Amazing what can be done from your bedroom.

Not in a "they'll murder you and your family and bury the bodies in the desert" way, but they can make a celebrity's life very, very difficult if they want to. That's why you see most people are civil with them. I certainly wouldn't have the patience for it.

Really interesting fight, both Conor and Eddie are warriors so it could be a case of who breaks first. Long gritty fight.
