It is very easy to be loud and turn up the volume when you are a winner.
However the very best sportsmen can take victory or defeat in a manner befitting of their status.
Conor McGregor may appear to be nothing but a trash talker inside and outside of the octagon, but when a fight is over, he has always been humble in seldom defeat, or now the all too familiar buzz of victory.
It’s something that his coach John Kavanagh has clearly instilled into the 27-year-old, and the man behind the success of SBG and it’s biggest star has taken to Twitter tonight to remind MMA fans in Ireland and further afield that taking cheap shots at Jose Aldo is neither smart, or classy.
Today is a time for praising a new champion, not taking cheap shots at a legend and future hall of famer. Humility in victory or defeat.
