– Conor McGregor’s Coach John Kavanagh recently spoke with MMAjunkie.com about the Aldo vs. Mendes bout at UFC 189. Here is what he had to say…

“I wasn’t surprised at the few takedowns that were hit. If you’re going to be facing someone at that level, and you’re shocked that you’re taken down, well that’s actually what induces the panic. That’s what makes you tired. But if that’s just part of the game, and you’re not worried, and once you understand that the general flow of the fight is going the right way. … But yeah, that fight was interesting.”
