Remember 4 or 5 years ago, Kavanagh and Khabib's Dad were going to go into business together?

I think it was a school in Abu Dhabi or something but I never heard about it again after that.

Could that be where the bad blood really started?
 
When UFC used khabib's name for 205. Then Artem running is mouth was what bring us to where we are today
 
I think this tweet is what started it.

This was months before UFC 205.

 
Bahrain was throwing money at everyone and wanted to create a team. It was just that a licensing deal. Everyone left after the money wasn't there anymore. Essentially it was some rich kid (Sheik) that wanted to play MMA gym owner. Frankie Edgar, Werdum, Khabib and Kavanaugh all gave seminars out there.

A year before was when he formed a relationship with the Bahraini prince that started KHK MMA. If he had any hope for a relationship or even fondness for the guys I feel like he wouldn't have tweeted like that. So I wonder what happened in the meantime?

So Kavanaugh never had more of a relationship beyond seminars? Any source on money drying up or when it ended

Non of them did. They just got money to represent the brand. Kind of like Evolve MMA does.

Cheers for the info.

Not trying to start a conspiracy but it was the first time I recalled the two camps having contact so thought it was worth mentioning.

I just researched it and they started running shows under the brand Brave CF. So some of Kavanaugh's guys might still fight under them. I'm not sure of the training status of most guys but Zabit apparently still gets some money from them.
