Conor McGregor’s coach will be taking an extra precautionary measure to ensure the safety of his fighters in 2017.
John Cavanagh recently issued a statement on his Facebook page announcing that all professional and amateur fighters under the SBG Ireland banner will be required to undergo a “one-off” brain scan in 2017 in order to represent the team.
“For 2017 ALL SBG fighters, both amateur and professional will be getting a one off brain scan to make sure there's no underlying issues that would preclude them from competing. It is not yet a requirement to get this done to compete on shows but it will be a requirement to represent SBG,” Kavanagh wrote.
