Conor McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh has hilariously responded to rumours about the MMA star.
The Crumlin native was reportedly knocked out during a sparring ahead of his match against Eddie Alvarez.
The fighters are to come head-to-head into the cage together next month but tensions are already high between the pair.
UFC “insider” Twitter TalkMMA said that Conor was not only knocked out but had a broken nose from the sparring.
I was told by someone close to SBG, McGregor was allegedly knocked out cold in sparring today; possible broken nose, shaky to his feet.

“Possible broken nose, shaky to his feet.”
The owner of the well-known gym SBG is John and he responded to the rumours with some gas tweets.

Conor may not have a broken nose but he does have a hefty fine to pay.
