Conor McGregor has celebrated the day of birth for long-time head coach John Kavanagh, with many joining online thereafter.
Taking to his personal X page @TheNotoriousMMA, McGregor stated:
“Happy birthday @John_Kavanagh ! Some lovely wins we have had on your birthday, coach! A gorgeous day in the parish ❤️🇮🇪”
One of the wins on this date that McGregor referenced was his 42-second KO of Donald Cerrone. That prizefight transpired on Jan. 18, 2020, at UFC 246. Also, the Irishman’s 2015 finish of Denis Siver transpired on Kavanagh’s birthday.
