WWE Women's Champion Becky Lynch has the 'it' factor of Conor McGregor , according to the Notorious' long-time coach John Kavanagh .

The SBG Ireland supremo welcomed Lynch, who is the champion of both Raw and SmackDown, to his gym in Dublin when she visited for a WWE event last week, and has also trained with wrestling legend Sheamus.

And speaking at a media event for Bellator London which takes place on June 22nd, Kavanagh told Irish Mirror that he believes she has the star quality of the former UFC double champ after watching her perform live at the 3 Arena.

"What I did notice when Becky walked out [at WWE Dublin] was that there's this star quality," Kavanagh explained.

"People are always asking me 'what's the difference between Conor [McGregor] and this guy or that guy?' and it's so hard to quantify.

"But it's such a rare quality called charisma which only a handful of people on the planet have, and she has it.

"When she walked up there was a different feel, the whole crowd could feel this electricity, she held them in the palm of her hand.

"She's a great performer and a great girl, and she's always welcome here."

Kavanagh attended the live wrestling event with girlfriend Orlagh Hunter, his first time watching pro wrestling in decades.

And he revealed that 'The Man' has a long history with his gym, training in another branch while going through the ranks in sports entertainment.

"She used to come to SBG about ten years ago," he said. "She used to do private sessions in SBG City Centre and I would hear about this crazy wrestler girl who was learning about flying arm bars but I didn't really know much about her.

"Fast forward a few years and she was in a couple of months ago and then she was in again last week, and just yesterday we had big Sheamus in."
