The day of the fight is arguably the most viewed point of a fighter’s journey. A fighter’s performance that day decides how their career and the journey forward turn out. But not everything is decided that day. The effort and training that precede the fight have the most important role to play. In the world of combat sports, what makes a good fighter a great one is the right coach. Conor McGregor recently took to X to acknowledge one of the best coaches of our time.

The Eubank vs. Smith 2 card created waves all over the fighting community. The fight which saw the two boxers go at each other for a second time, ended with Chris Eubank Jr.’s triumphant victory over Liam Smith. The fight which didn’t go his way the first time was completely dominated by Eubank Jr. Additionally, a little over a month ago, Terence Crawford beat Errol Spence Jr to retain his WBO welterweight title. Amidst all the victories, the man of the hour is Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, the super-coach who trained the two victorious boxers.

Conor McGregor shout-outs champion-coach

After Chris Eubank’s stupendous victory, Conor McGregor took to X to give the coach his flowers. A post by ‘Sky Sports Boxing’ showcased the coach with his star fighters. The image was captioned, “What a few months for Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre! A contender for Trainer of the Year?” Conor McGregor re-shared this tweet to his official X account reiterating the sentiment. ‘Notorious’ captioned the image, “BoMac knows! @ForgedStout”.

McIntyre was sporting a beanie bearing the logo of McGregor’s Forged Irish Stout. ‘Mystic Mac’s business sense knew better than to waste the opportunity and rightfully tagged the brand in his tweet.

Conor McGregor’s stint as a Coach

Conor McGregor himself recently donned a coach outfit. As part of TUF 31, Michael Chandler and ‘Mystic Mac’ were both pitted against each other as rival coaches. However, that went a different route from what McIntyre was able to achieve. The show ended with a complete takeover by Team Chandler. Interestingly, McGregor also recently invited his compatriot Ian Garry to a training session at his old gym.
