This fan wished Coach Kavanagh luck for his camp with McGregor and wrote, ”Good luck coach! Connor will need it, to me this is rocky vs apollo, rocky was a fighter, apollo was a showman, Dustin Poirier is a fighter.”
Replying to his tweet, Kavanagh wrote, “The Dancing Destroyer went 47-1 with 46 wins by KO. He was the undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. He came back and literally fought to death against a much younger bigger juiced up cheat. Showman yes but make no mistake the King of Sting was a fighter first.”

Kavanagh referred to the Double Champ as Apollo Creed from the film ‘Rocky,’ who is a devastating KO artist and not just a showman.
Kavanagh set to join McGregor for Poirier camp
Though the McGregor vs Poirier is not officially announced, it is speculated to be on January 23 at UFC 257. Talking to ESPN, Dana White said, ”Jan. 23 on Fight Island, if everything goes according to plans. There are a ton of if’s right now. I have to see where the world is at in the next couple of months.”
However, both the fighters have verbally agreed to face each other. Kavanagh leads McGregor’s camp since a long time now and will look forward to getting another W to the Double champ’s resume.
McGregor and Poirier have clashed before at UFC 178 in a Lightweight bout where the Notorious knocked Poirier out in Round 1. McGregor went on to become the first UFC two-weight champion, whereas Poirier kept on improving and added numerous wins to make his way to the top.
