John Kavanagh left with marked-up face after Conor McGregor's return to gym

Conor McGregor's coach John Kavanagh has shown off his marked-up face after sharing a grappling session with the UFC star.

McGregor is eyeing a return to the UFC for the first time since breaking his leg in a second consecutive defeat to Dustin Poirier last year. Although his comeback is expected to be delayed, McGregor has now made a return to his SBG gym in Ireland alongside long-term coach Kavanagh.

The Irish star posted images of his return to MMA training on social media, with his coach also sharing shots of the pair rolling around the floor when sharing grappling rounds. Kavanagh revealed it was the first time the pair have grappled since preparing for his previous loss to Poirier.
