After the defeat of McGregor against Poirier due to his ankles and could not continue to play, Kavanagh told the media that everything happened as planned and the “crazy guy” McGregor would win against Poirier in the second half if the match took place normally.
However, Michael Bisping said that Kavanagh's plan is unacceptable, if this is the plan of Kavanagh, McGregor should dismiss this coach.
“Kavanagh said: I don't care much about the first half because I know that in the second half, we will get a knock-out victory. If it is the real plan of John Kavanagh, Conor should dismiss this coach immediately, that plan is very worrying.” – Bisping said.
“My friend was overwhelmed almost the first half, that was worrying. No fighter wanted to be overwhelmed, and that was exactly what happened to his friend.” – Bisping added.
