What was said
"Well, certainly when he moved into the gym, like literally moved in. He literally moved in. I had a storage room and he asked could he put a bed in it and I was like sure."
John Kavanagh revealed that Conor McGregor literally lived in a converted storage room at his SBG Ireland gym starting around Christmas for several months. McGregor would sleep there multiple nights per week, especially before sparring days, to maintain the proper competitive mindset. Kavanagh admitted he expected McGregor to quit after one day but was proven wrong when the arrangement lasted three to four months.
