Fans recently responded in droves to Conor McGregor’s coach Joh Kavanagh’s remarks on the Irishman’s return to active mixed martial arts training on social media.
Some supporters could not resist but draw attention to McGregor’s recent winless streak. Here are the reactions of the audience to Kavanagh’s view on McGregor:
“Hasn’t lost a beat? He needs to gain a couple, he hasn’t won anything in like 5 years.”

Donald Cerrone, a seasoned UFC fighter, was the subject of McGregor’s most recent victory. In a welterweight match, the pair stole the show at UFC 246 in January 2020 at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. A sizable contingent of supporters refused to acknowledge “Cowboy” as a legitimate rivalry for the Irishman.
Soon after the opening bell, the Crumlin native destroyed Cerrone, winning through first-round technical knockout in just his second fight since 2016. But the majority of spectators wrote the fight off as a warm-up match.
As much as I like cowboy, we all know he was a sacrificial lamb used for a McGregor tune up fight. So we don’t count that as a W.

Some supporters even asserted that since McGregor entered the ring to face Floyd Mayweather in August 2017 and GOT defeated by a standing TKO in round ten, he has not been the same person.
A real coach would be honest with his fighter who has been out for a fucking year but this yes man wants Conor to believe he has zero rust when in reality he still hasn’t shaken off the rust from his time off after Floyd.

Below are some further fan responses:
He hasn’t lost a beat? So he’s still only 4-5 beats behind anyone in the top 10. Cool.

When I think of a guy who “hasn’t lost a beat”, I don’t think of someone who had one “great” training session a couple weeks ago …

Fans further urged McGregor to think about leaving Kavanagh and SBG Ireland and joining another team whose head coach is not just a puppet under his control.
I think John has got him to a great level and made him a two time champ, but now, Conor needs to find a different camp, one where he’s not the guy, no yes men, and some people who will test him grappling and wrestling wise to improve him where he needs it the most
