Who's worse? Edmond or Irish Edmond?
“It’s hard to put in words why I think he will be remembered as the greatest of all time," Kavanagh recently told SevereMMA. "I do think that he will definitely be a two-weight world champion, that’s a given, and I think with a certain set of circumstances he will be the first and only three-weight division UFC champion. That would be at featherweight, lightweight and welterweight."

Can McGregor become the first to win titles in three? “It’s not hard for me to imagine that scenario," Kavanagh said.

"I think two people have already done it in two weight classes and even then they did in a time that was a little different – the skill set was a little bit lower."

"I've seen that rumours of Conor fighting Robbie Lawler for the 170lbs belt at UFC 200 on 9 July have been gathering momentum," Kavanagh wrote. "It's not something we have discussed specifically but after Conor wins the lightweight belt, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the next fight is for the welterweight belt.

"If that's what Conor wants to do, I'll absolutely support that move. I think that would be fantastic. We're already talking about making history in a few weeks, but can you imagine what it will be like if Conor is the champion in three weight classes by the summer?"

"I don't know how anybody would prepare to fight Conor to be honest. With Conor I don't see any weaknesses or errors."

"I have this kind of image in my head of UFC 200 with Conor headlining for the LW belt and Gunnar co-maining for the WW belt."

I started laughing when he said "That's a given" when referring to Conor getting the LW title.

It wasn't funny before the Diaz loss but in hindsight it is now hilarious.
 
What would be truly amazing if he can do it with no ground game.
 
kavanagh has always talked mad shit.... too much portal... not enough bjj.... coach kav needs to lift his game
 
The best thing to ever happen to this guy is Cloner. He better ride this rocket to relevance, because once it crashes back down to earth, SBG will be as irrelevant as Gunnar's grappling against Maia.
 
The worst part of thia is Kavanagh is SBG's BJJ coach. Think about that.
 
Why the hate? He's spot-on, imo. It's hard indeed. Impossible I dare saying.

P.S. Is that a black belt the one I see around his waist? If he is the one who gave Conor a brown belt that would explain lots of things.
 
I can put it into words for you, John: "Because he's Irish."
 
The dude is a goof no doubt about it. Not nearly on the level of Edmond yet though. let's pull up some gems if you guys already forgot.
 
How about Kavanagh vs. Edmond for the main event at UFC 200? It'll be a throwback fight. The BJJ guy vs. the kickboxing guy. We could hope for a Hughes vs. Newton moment where the grappler gets slammed and the guy doing the slamming gets choked. Both go unconscious.

Conor's brown belt is like a black belt parents pay thousands of dollars for in a kids' rinky dink tae kwon do class.
