Preparing for his octagon return, UFC superstar Conor McGregor is back in his old trash-talking self.
In a recent tweet, ”The Notorious” praised his own coach John Kavanagh of SBG Ireland by taking shots at other high profile coaches of the MMA game.
”Firaz zihabi is a little douchebag, Trevor wittman is a pad man. Javier Mendez is a fat lick arse kick boxer, Mike brown [ATT] is a smelly prick, Greg Jackson got caught up, the system of coach kavanagh is now shining thru. In years to come the world will know what we have been at. It’s beginning to bare fruit, if you want to train. Train at sbg Ireland with kav. And me. We are a fight factory akin to butter churning,” McGregot tweeted.
Coach Firas Zahabi is known for his work with Georges St-Pierre, while Trevor Wittman coaches former champions like Rose Namajunas, Kamaru Usman and interim champion Justin Gaethje.
Javier Mendez is coach and founder of the MMA Gym American Kickboxing Academy (AKA), and worked with UFC lightweight champions Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev among others.
Matt Brown of American Top Team is head coach of McGregor’s rival Dustin Poirier, while Greg Jackson of Jackson Wink MMA Academy trained many successful fighters, including current heavyweight champion Jon Jones and former bantamweight champion Holly Holm.
