UFC Fans Criticize Conor McGregor’s Coach John Kavanagh for “Undignified” Promotion of Whisky Brand After Johnny Walker KO

Fans show their disgust at Conor McGregor’s coach as he was seen subtly ‘promoting’ the Irishman’s whisky brand as teammate Johnny Walker was giving an update on his health after his recent loss.

UFC fan-favorite Johnny Walker suffered one of the most brutal and not to mention embarrassing KO of his professional career via Jamahal Hill at UFC Vegas 48. This was Walker’s fourth loss in his last five outings. And fans were more than disappointed at his performance.

However, there was something else that caught the fans’ attention, his coach John Kavanagh.

Walker, in a video, showed his injuries after his loss. He said, “What’s up, guys? I’m okay. Just a little cut here. I sleep on the fight, so something happen wrong.”

Whereas SB gym owner John Kavanagh could be seen in the same video munching on pizza and raising a toast with a bottle of Proper 12, Conor McGregor’s liquor brand.

UFC fans did not like the idea of Kavanagh promoting McGregor’s whiskey while Walker was addressing his fans, especially while they were at the losing end.

Fans angry at John Kavanagh while Johnny Walker Grieves

The community was particularly unhappy as the most high-profile fighters that Kavanagh coaches have been unable to deliver in the octagon. Hence, the onus was left on Kavanagh. “Kavanaugh isn’t even concerned, he just wants his Proper Twelve 😂,” a fan commented.

Another fan wrote, “Kavanaugh is wrong for promoting whisky while HIS fighter is talking about their loss”

“Kavanagh needs to lay off the proper twelve, his fighter was getting slept”

“there is something truly undignified about Kavanagh cheerfully plugging conor’s whisky while Walker talks about his loss”

“This so pathetic. Stop shilling horrible alcohol @John_Kavanagh and focus on your fighters”

“Jonny Walker giving a heartfelt message after he was viciously knocked out in front of his fiancée. John Kavanagh: Cheap a*s whiskey goo brrrr”
