John Kavanagh 'nervous' as he coaches MMA class in front of Dublin GAA legend

John Kavanagh has admitted he was nervous as he welcomed Dublin GAA legend Jonny Cooper to his gym.

Cooper recently retired from inter-county duty with Dublin, retiring with some seven All-Ireland titles.

And the no nonsense defender tried his hand at some MMA training under the watchful eye of Kavanagh.

The famed MMA coach took to social media, saying: "Not often I get nervous coaching but not every day your under the watchful eye of Dublin footballing legend Jonny Cooper. A pleasure to have you down at Straight Blast Gym Ireland."

Cooper can be seen sitting watching Kavanagh coach and is pictured alongside the SBG team.

The Na Fianna man first played for Dublin back in 2012 and won two All-Stars during his playing career.
