John Kavanagh pro MMA fight

[@Skoshtwo]

I wasn't sure it was actually him but that changed after he accidentally hit the man in the back of the head and immediately apologized.

Me either in the beggining it didnt look like him.. But when he was getting his hand rasied I realized it was him in the face

Dude ! First time I've seen this. Wow man John what a great fight man. If ya happen to see this. My friend considering where you come from this was very impressive mate. I can see in so many areas of this fight why John is such a overall great head coach. That was text book technical to a tee. Rode him out everywhere he whent. Fought up the half guard into side control. Well played my friend. Good hands for sure also. The boxing in Ireland right there. Let's see what Ireland produces next as far as champs or top contenders go. That Bellator kid is a total clown. Bad seed to the sport.

so around 1:40 when he has Johns ankle couldn't he use his foot to push out Johns knee and and get him on his back like they teach to get you down for a heel hook obviously not all places teach the same but the principle of it more so of scooting close and grabbing a hold of one of their feet and kicking out their other knee to roll them back and lift up to get your legs and their heel in position
