Conor’s Coach Reacts To The Journey … And Conor’s Logo Printed On The UFC’s Mats


SBG Ireland head coach John Kavanagh has gone to social media to do a little reflecting on his experience in mixed martial arts. Specifically, the head coach takes some time to think on his top athlete and UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor.

Over Instagram, Kavanagh stated “22yrs ago I was hiring UFC 1 from a local video store. I had no idea what to expect but was hooked immediately. Today I was in the UFC’s new $15million dollar performance institute watching Boxing Hall of Famer Joe Cortez call my fighter into the middle of their boxing ring.

“A ring which has his own promotional logo on it beside the famous UFC logo, the first time a fighter has ever achieved this. While he gave instructions during another fight simulation preparing for the biggest fight of all time I couldn’t help but think this is kinda strange.”
