Kavanagh participated in a question and answer session with MMA fans via the Periscope app. Asked by an internet user which round McGregor will win, the coach responded briefly: “Fourth,” he said.

Afterwards, Kavanagh was asked what went wrong in the first duel, in March, when McGregor was submitted in the second round. “A lot of blows were thrown, he got tired,” he explained.

Finally, the leader of the SBG Ireland academy left McGregor's future open after the August fight. “First let’s get this rematch out of the way,” he added.

UFC featherweight champion, McGregor was defeated by Diaz in his last fight, held at a catchweight of 77 kg. In his original category, the Irishman comes from a lightning victory over José Aldo, in just 13 seconds, in the fight that won him the title.
