Coach John Kavanagh Reveals Real Intention Behind Conor McGregor’s Hideous Ape Video

Conor McGregor recently shared a video on his Twitter, hinting at his return to the UFC. The fighter put on a monkey face filter and hinted at his return. Later, he pulled the tweet down, but not before Coach Kavanagh defended the Irishman.

Coach Kavanagh runs the SB Gym, which has produced many UFC fighters. “The Notorious’ is among the most recent fighters hailing from the SB Gym. The coach justified McGregor’s video by calling him the “SB Gorilla”.

Coach John Kavanagh responded to Conor McGregor’s video

Conor McGregor recently deleted a video from Twitter where he used the monkey face filter to announce his return. In the video, he said, “I told you I’ll be back.” Then gave a hysterical laugh before saying, “Wakey wakey.” However, the tweet was deemed ‘scary’ and McGregor was asked to take it off the social media platform.

Doubtlessly, McGregor deleted the tweet after fans called it ‘scary’. Coach John Kavanagh conveyed what the fighter was trying to say. Kavanagh responded to the Champ’s tweet and said, “SBGorilla”. The Dubliner trains in the SBG, short for Straight Blast Gym, Ireland, with a gorilla as the face of the logo. Hence, the coach tried to convey that McGregor represented his gym when he put the filter on. 

Conor McGregor wanted to go against Kamaru Usman 

McGregor previously revealed that he wanted to make his return to the UFC in the welterweight division. However, his choice of opponent turned out to be Kamaru Usman, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’. McGregor has already won at two different weight classes in the UFC, i.e., featherweight and lightweight division. Next, he threw his aim at the welterweight division. He aspired to be the first fighter to win the titles of 3 different weight categories.

Rumors flew about him going against Floyd Mayweather, as well. ‘Money’ talked of going against the UFC champion for a second time. He even claimed that it would be the biggest pay-per-view event. Although the ‘Money’ vs McGregor 2 would be a boxing fight, Mayweather hinted that he’d be taking on the Dubliner on the Octagon, as well.
