WATCH: Conor McGregor has a message for his fans and coach ahead of The Late Late Show

Paul Moore

Really kind words.

John Kavanagh has established himself as one of the most respected MMA coaches in Ireland and we’re delighted to see that the man in Conor McGregor’s corner will be on tonight’s Late Late Show.

We’ve no doubt that he’s going to be asked about a certain former plumber from Crumlin, but that’s not all.

Ryan Tubridy went out to John’s Straight Blast Gym in Walkinstown earlier in the week for a training session and we all get to see how that went down later this evening.

Ahead of the show, The Notorious sent his best wishes to his coach and said that he “wouldn’t be in the position I am in without coach Kavanagh’s guidance”. Tubridy might be asking Kavanagh about McGregor’s next fight – Eddie Alvarez and Jose Aldo have been mentioned while rumours of a Madison Square Garden venue are doing the rounds – and McGregor used this opportunity to pay tribute to his Irish fans.

Take a look.
