    Losing Tom King and Joey B as coaches is a huge blow to SBG. Probably the two best black belt coaches the gym has ever produced.

    To be fair he's in a tough spot; he has to side with John or he'll be kicked out of the box-room.

    Bit of a sad story really, whatever the truth, repeated countlessly since time immeroial - success breeding contempt.

    The good news to come from this, is that we should have a few decent gyms popping up around the place.
    Team KF are already doing well, and where-ever Joey goes, will get a very good BJJ guy.

    Few decent lads from the Mullingar gym as well, Tyrone etc.

    He would in his sh!te be kicked out by Kavanagh who ain't going to mess with the golden goose and you wouldn't blame him

    James definitely isn't the golden goose

    Yeah... I doubt JG has made John much if any money at all...

    Didn't John train a couple of the lads for free at the start?

    I thought that was mentioned by some of them.

    Those lads built his business by teaching for free for years and years.

    Yep my mistake

    Thought that was a McGregor tweet

    Gallagher is definitely someone to tow behind JK

    Joey is the BJJ coach in SBG D24.

    I wouldn't have thought his "I'm out" comment would've meant he was leaving Paddy's gym? Unless he's getting away from the SBG name altogether?

    Ah, I thought from that tweet he was gone from SBG altogether. Possibly still is in D24 so.

    Easy mistake to make given how Gallagher styles every last thing about his life after McGregor.

    Fair enough.

    I was just putting it out there.

    I am quite literally just a random guy on the internet when it comes to these things!

    If Nick was to be fully sober, it would probably be reminiscent of that scene in Fr Ted for Fr Jack

    Lads. For someone who's never kickboxed in any manner before, this is ****ing ridiculously smooth, especially for a man his size.

    He's actually scarily fluid in his striking already.

    This might actually happen, and he might actually do well.

    I suspect Fury's been training a while. Recall him throwing a few kicks messing around a while back and thinking that's not bad...

    Tyson has been training and sparring with kickboxers for years, he spent a lot of time in Holland with all the top kickboxing lads. I remember an interview years ago where he went into it and how his legs were conditioned to kicks etc.

    I'd say that was 5 years ago at least.

    I'm not the slightest bit surprised a champion boxer can kick up straight elbows and knees. Body position is pretty similar to boxing.
    Turning over your hips for a roundhouse will be much more unnatural for him I imagine.

    But striking won't the issue if it happens. Would love to see it.

    Alot of hate for JK this week. I did ask TK a question regarding the 5k fee, did he expect to use the SBG brand for free. He didn't answer, I can appreciate if TK did provide free classes for years and for this expected some sort of alternative payment ie use of the brand for free.

    JK needs to stop with the smart arse tweets he constantly does. He wrote a comment to Ben Askren today making a sly remark. He needs to just fuk off and stop thinking he's a comedian.

    So much for the SBG family bull****. I hope Chris Field's and Paddy Hoolihan do well and make a decent living, 2 decent blokes who didn't make the McGregor money, but remained honest decent lads. They might never millionaires, but I don't think they'd want that, making a living would be sufficient.

    Not that vid...but something like it.

    Shrewd business move on Fury's part. WWE, MMA talk all very sound for building on his US profile. Plus he actually has the leverage to get something like this going...

    Anyone listening to Nick Diaz interview on Ariel?

    I know he was never great at public speaking, but he is really starting to sound as if he might have CTE or something.

    Nick sounds like he is kinda jealous of Nate. He is talking about how Nate has got the big fights with Conor/Masvidal etc; also talking about how Nate has a family and how he would like a family himself.

    It sounds like Nate has his life together with his career and family, while Nicks life seems to be all over the place, partying all the time and has no career or family. The only thing Nick seems to have going for himself is his academy.

    :( I feel really bad for Nick. I hope he gets his life back on track and finds happiness.

    I've seen a few clips of him on YouTube the last few months and thought he was just on a bing, I watched some of today's interview and found him hard to follow, do you think it's brain damage? It's hard to watch on many levels.

    Brain damage? drugs? or maybe both. Its hard to tell but whatever it is I hope he gets himself sorted.

    Yeah he made no sense at all. Usually poor enough but that was very hard to watch and listen to. Maybe on something or whatever but I think he needs help.
