A Serious Blog About Kavanagh, And Why He Is A Truly Great Man

Listen, I know the subject is touchy right now, and here at Barstool Sports we’ve been directed to shy away from such serious topics as this one, but I couldn’t stay silent any longer. If I didn’t come right out and use my platform to share how I truly felt with the world, I’d feel not only that I were cheating myself, but that I were cheating you, the reader, as well. So here we go, I guess…

It’s fight week, and I’m in the midst of re-reading ‘WIN OR LEARN – MMA, Conor McGregor, and Me: A Trainer’s Journey’ by John Kavanagh, Conor McGregor’s head coach that he’s had for the entirety of his career, and I’m finding myself constantly stopping and re-reading certain pages throughout the process. Pages that exemplify how great of a man John Kavanagh truly is, how much he’s done for mixed martial arts in Ireland, and how much he’s done for “The Notorious” Conor McGregor. And I’ve just been left in disbelief time and time again at how he has remained to stay humble (but also being somebody that takes no shit from anybody), while training the biggest star in the sport’s history, and how much he is able to be a mentor for McGregor, keeping him grounded and disciplined in a world where such thing should be impossible.

Basically, the point of this blog is for me to say this: John Kavanagh is an extraordinary man. Based on some Twitter trends I haven’t been paying much attention to, I think he’s been getting dragged through the mud a bit recently, but I can tell you first hand that he isn’t the monster the fake news media is seemingly making him out to be. Not at all. I mean, look how friendly he was in this t-shirt war I got into with him!

(I won)

Or when he told me the United States of America’s Judicial System would do the same to me as they did Conor…

…FOOKIN’ NUTTIN’!

(He called me son!!!)

Now, to close this blog and hammer my point home, I’ll leave you with the forward for Kavanagh’s autobiography, written by Conor McGregor himself. This should give you a pretty decent idea of how much John means to Conor, and how fantastic a human he is.

Have fun this week, Coach!!! Enjoy the fruits of your labor!!!
