What was said
"The word I have for this camp is communication. Our communication has been the best for this camp than it's than it's ever been. I think might sound a bit weird to say that. you know, we're 20 odd years friends and coach athletes, but we did we we've gone through patches of not having great communication."
John Kavanagh identified improved communication as the defining theme of McGregor's training camp, contrasting it with the Khabib fight where they were "two ships in the night." Kavanagh explained that understanding McGregor's unusually fast brain processing speed, as identified by a neurologist, helped prevent frustration and miscommunication. The coach said this camp featured unprecedented openness and honesty between the entire team.
