CR7 Put UFC Star Conor McGergor's Coach in Headlock After He Turned Up Uninvited to JLo Vegas Party

Published on: 17 October 2016

It's one thing turning up to a party uninvited; it's another thing altogether when you cause aruckus upon arrival.


So the story goes that the king of trash-talk (and UFC superstar) Conor McGregor turned up uninvitedto a partyJennifer Lopezwas hostingin Las Vegas. Not one to arrive anywhere on his lonesome, McGregor had his coachJohn Kavanagh in tow.

Also in attendance was a certain Cristiano Ronaldo, who may have had a role in why McGregor rocked up to the soireein the first place, seeing as how the Madrid striker attended the UFC man's training camp earlier that same day.


According to The Sun, events took a turn for the comically absurd when Cristiano ended up putting Kavanagh in a headlock for reasons unknown, but perhaps it wasretribution for turning up without that aforementioned invite.


While reports that the headlock itself was similar to the image above remain unsubstantiated,Kavanagh revealed to the Irish Independent it was a 'drunk party' as well as confirming the Real Madrid star did indeed puthim in a headlock.


So how did this bizarre sequence of events actually occur? Well...


After Ronaldo had mentioned the event earlier in the day, Kavanagh and McGregor decided to attend, despite their reservations. Kavanagh stated:


Even in the car as we're driving in: ˜Wait! This a terrible mistake. We're going to walk in here and be thrown out by some security guard!'�

As it turns out, J-Lo was delighted to welcome McGregor and Kavanagh to her party.


Kavanagh added: We go in and J-Lo catches his [McGregor's] eye and comes running over like a schoolgirl: Oh! Conor McGregor! Thank you for coming. Let's dance!


''It turned out, not only was J-Lo delighted to be in their company, but Ronaldo showed how intrigued he was by Kavanagh as McGregor's trainer.''

The UFC coach added: "He [Ronaldo] kept coming over, and then he would drift away, and then I'd be in another part (of the room) and he'd come over again.


"We spoke about training regimes and the psychological aspects of competition and after a while I started to realise: 'This guy is just like Conor.' Just a one-track mind, no interest in anything else.


"Civilians would call them obsessed or say there was something wrong with them, but you can't get to that level unless you have that personality."
