Niko Samsonidse believes training with Conor McGregor’s coach has prepared him well for his upcoming title clash.
The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu world champion will fight Losene Keita at OKTAGON on Saturday.
The pair of them will contest the featherweight championship for the franchise.
As part of his preparation for the bout he has been to SBG Ireland, as well as training in Berlin with his current setup.
The Oktagon fighter has explained how he feels his training has benefited him, including the edge that McGregor’s coach, John Kavagh, has given him.
He said: "Man, I'm absolutely fine now that it is fight week, I'm looking forward to the fight and I'm super excited.
"I had a great camp, it was two weeks out in SBG Ireland preparing as well as the rest of the time in Berlin with my team, I feel ready to go and I'm super excited to fight for a title in a main event."
"I had such a warm welcome when I got there, really great training partners and I was also there with Rafael Xavier and Ebrahim Hosseinpour who are fighting on this card as well.
"It was great to get the insight from John Kavanagh as well when I was out there."
