Conor McGregor’s Coach Accepts the Honor of Being the Best Man at His Pupil’s Wedding

Conor McGregor is arguably one of the greatest martial artists to step foot in the octagon. The Irishman has a long list of accolades that he has earned throughout his MMA career. Recently, his coach, John Kavanagh, accepted the role of being the best man for his student’s wedding. This student is none other than UFC fighter Johnny Walker.

Kavanagh has coached talented fighters such as Conor McGregor, Johnny Walker, and Gunnar Nelson. Recently, he posted a picture of a champagne bottle on his Instagram with a note attached to it, which read, “John, Will you be my best man? From Johnny.”

Kavanagh captioned the post, “Well he asked and I said yes. First time being a best man. Time to get working on the stags and speech. I’m in your corner @johnnywalker.” In the comments, Walker replied to the post with, “You are definitely in my corner @coach_kavanagh.”

After Walker’s defeat against Nikita Krylov, Walker changed camps and joined Kavanagh’s SBG gym in Ireland. The two have been together ever since and formed a strong partnership. Kavanagh was able to get Walker back to his winning ways after securing a victory over Ryan Spann.
