Even for us, we went from training in a shed with the roof caved in to a million dollar mansion in Las Vegas. For John especially, to take someone to that level is going to be an amazing achievement. When Conor wins this belt it’s going to be amazing. Then with Cage Warriors we were winning belts. “Cage Contender, we thought we were doing well then. We’re at the top of the game, there is no place left to go after here. It’s like we live in a little bubble, myself, Artem and John are kind of getting used to the circus that comes along with these fights now.
“It’s mad to think about how far we have come. Roddy, Kavanagh’s original SBG trail blazer, spoke about how it feels to have gone from training in “a shed with the roof caved in” to the infamous Henderson mansion. I remember telling his father as much after the fight.” We were talking about him like he was the next big thing back then. He beat himself up after the first loss in front of his family and friends. “The change in his mentality was unbelievable. After that there were these huge improvements week after week. Then when he lost to Joe Duffy, we saw a big change come over Conor. He took a good few months off and then he came back. He had been training for a long time and then I think after the loss he wanted a break for a little bit. “Conor only kind of done it once, that was after the loss to Sitenkov. I remember at the end of the conversation he said ‘get back down to the gym on Monday’, and I panicked and said I would be there. A couple of years ago I did it and then I bumped into John one day at a jiu jitsu competition. “I went on the missing list a few times myself. Considering his teammate’s two losses in the sport, Roddy claimed he saw a completely different fighter emerge from McGregor’s loss to Joseph Duffy in 2010. McGregor took some spells away from the fight game on his ascent, something Roddy claimed he done himself at the height of his powers. When we moved from Harold’s Cross to Rathcoole, that’s where he really started to put in work.” He went off then and he didn’t come back for a while. He couldn’t believe it, he was saying ‘you actually get in there and do this?’ He thought I was crazy. “I can remember we had a chat after training and I told him that I was preparing to fight someone in a couple of weeks time. He was very confident and sure of himself, even back then. “I think I was moving around a bit with Conor and I remember thinking ‘this guy is really good.’ After one exchange I was taking him down straightaway. “Him and Tom came in together,” remembered Roddy. ‘Rowdy’ would go on to pave the way for his SBG teammates with his assault on the international scene, but he still remembers the day that McGregor first popped his head into the MMA gym. Owen Roddy was the first bona fide MMA fighter Conor McGregor ever met when he walked into John Kavanagh’s Harold’s Cross gym back in 2006.
