So Kavanagh got super offended over nothing, then acted condescenging when Luke asked him to clarify? Strange, wouldn't have imagined him acting like that after the few interviews I've seen him in.
PrettyCoolGuy -So Kavanagh got super offended over nothing, then acted condescenging when Luke asked him to clarify? Strange, wouldn't have imagined him acting like that after the few interviews I've seen him in.
That is not how I read that exchange at all. Thomas is being pig ignorant. He is told staight from the horses mouth that Danis is a sparring partner and not 'McGregor's BJJ Coach.' Instead of accepting this, he begins a sarcastic (and pretty fucking stupid) semantic dissection of the term "sparring partner" before declaring "it's a bit hard to accept his mere role is sparring, be it specialized or otherwise."
All sparring partners, particularly specialists, will dispense technical knowledge in addition to sparring. Is anyone going around calling Joe Schilling Nick Diaz'/Donald Cerrone's Muay Thai coach? The argument is fucking inane and if Thomas wasn't such a walking ego he would simply acknowledge the mistake and correct his tweet as opposed to arguing as if he knows more than McGregor's ACTUAL BJJ COACH. His correction tweet sums the bloke up:
".@John_Kavanagh says - per my Danis-Agazarm news from last night - Danis is not a coach of McGregor, but more a sparring partner. #SUG3"
A 'journalist' who doesn't understand how to use the word 'per,' sounds about right.
...what a donk...

Luke should have just said; "You're right my mistake, he's not his coach he just trains with him."
That would have been the end of it but Luke thinks he's some sort of MMA media genius.

the horses mouth is biased though, because it makes him look bad if dilon is conors bjj coach (Which he is btw - you see him teaching conor bjj in numerous vids)
maybe kavanaugh taught conor bjj initially but dilon was brought in to take conor's bjj to the next level after he got fucking TOOLED by nate on the ground like he was a whitebelt

Exactly.
Kav is a BJJ coach, so perhaps some ego is in there. I'm sure Dillon would wrap them both up at nearly any time.

I guess we have different definitions of coach. Is everyone who comes into a camp and teaches someone their speciality suddenly their coach? Not in my opinion. Especially when they already clearly have a coach who's been there for years. Coach has a certain meaning to it.
Either way, Luke knew what John was saying and he just couldn't bring himself to let it go.

He's not just anyone. He is a top bjj guy that was brought in after conor got schooled in bjj by Nate. He wasn't there for an 8 week camp. He's there apparently full time. He corners Conor. He teaches Conor bjj.
Which part of this do do you think makes him just a sparring partner and not a coach?
