Report: We might be seeing Katie Taylor in an MMA Octagon someday

Wow

Imagine Katie Taylor vs Ronda Rousey.

Conor McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh did a brilliant interview on Newstalk Breakfast this morning.

The SBG trainer revealed that The Notorious vs Jose Aldo will probably take place “mid-summer” and not in May as was widely expected. We hope you didn’t book flights.

Kavanagh also made an interesting comment about Katie Taylor and a possible future for her in MMA.

He was speaking about Irish women in the sport when he brought up Taylor: “Katie Taylor has actually shown some interest in training mixed martial arts one day.

“Who knows, we might get her over after she wins her next title.”

We know it would take a lot for Katie Taylor to adapt to MMA. But with her speed and power, she could be awesome.
