John Kavanagh catches Conor McGregor’s mate in Las Vegas tanning studio, hilarity ensues

He absolutely pegged it

Ben Kiely

Conor McGregor’s team appear to be having a blast as they prepare for the toughest test they have ever faced.

We’ve been kept up to date with all the happenings from McGregor’s camp through Owen Roddy’s fantastic vlog documenting their experiences.

In the latest episode of the SBG coach and Irish MMA pioneer’s vlog, there was a pretty humorous moment involving Conor McGregor’s pal Gerry Byrne, John Kavanagh and a Las Vegas tanning studio. Roddy’s commentary set the scene perfectly.

“JK’s (John Kavanagh) after catching the boys coming out of… I don’t know whether they were in the wax place here or the tanning. You wouldn’t know with the lads… here comes Gerry and… Gerry’s trying to hide (laughs).”

At this moment, Gerry spotted the SBG head coach waiting outside the studio for him. Fortunately, Kavanagh’s back was turned giving him the opportunity to hide behind a pillar and assess his options.

Time was of the essence. At any moment, Kavanagh could have turned around and spotted him peeking from behind the concrete. The jig would have been up.

So he decided that the best course of action was to take flight and absolutely peg it in the opposite direction.

A little later, Gerry walked back to the car with a cup in his hand and his tail between his legs. Roddy remained coy, but it was obvious that Gerry knew he had been stung big time.

Roddy: “Ah Gerry, what’s the story? Just in the restaurant there, yeah?”

Gerry: “Getting a drink.”

Roddy: “I know yeah… I hear ya.”

Cue an eruption of laughter from everyone present.
