Conor McGregor’s coach announces reward for identifying man who tried to break into SBG Ireland gym
Straight Blast Gym head coach John Kavanagh took to Twitter to report an attempted break-in on the gym's premises. Earlier today, on May 23, Kavanagh shared an image of CCTV footage, showing an unidentified man at the doors of SBG Ireland.
He tweeted it with the caption:
"Anyone from #inchicore recognize him? Reward for positive ID. If he'd been successful he would have been greeted by fighters, probably best he's a failure at that too."

From Kavanagh's statement, it appears that the man failed to break-in, and was caught on CCTV attempting to do so. According to John Kavanagh, the gym was filled with fighters training at the time. While he didn't name any fighters that were inside the gym at the time, he did go on to state that it was 'probably best' that the man failed to break-in, at least for his own sake.
SBG Ireland is home to some of the world's best fighters, most notably Conor 'The Notorious' McGregor. Big names like Cedric Doumbe, Johnny Walker, Gunnar Nelson and James Gallagher have all trained at SBG Ireland.
John Kavanagh to coach Conor McGregor when he takes on Michael Chandler later this year
It was announced earlier that Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler would be coaches on this year's The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), and would face each other some time later this year.
McGregor has not announced any changes to his team, and it appears that he will remain loyal to John Kavanagh and the rest of the SBG team. In fact, McGregor has even brought on his coach, John Kavanagh, to TUF and the two, along with the rest of McGregor's team, will look to help fighters under Team McGregor colors.
