Conor McGregor blocks football coach after being branded "a leach" during row

An Irish football coach has expressed his joy after UFC legend Conor McGregor blocked him on Twitter following a row.

David Ennis, an Irish goalkeeping coach for Canadian side Toronto FC, told the former two-weight UFC champion to leave Katie Taylor alone after McGregor offered to pay the security costs for her homecoming fight at Croke Park against Amanda Serrano. McGregor tweeted: "Monday tomorrow! Let’s keep us posted on Katie Taylor for Croke Park on May 20.

Ennis replied to the tweet: "Leave her alone you [sic] leach," with the goalkeeping coach then posting a screenshot showing McGregor had blocked him after the exchange, captioning the post: "WHAT. A. F***ING. WIN." One user questioned Ennis on why McGregor blocked him, to which he replied: "Years of hard work".
