Roan Carneiro shuts down the rumors that Conor McGregor is looking for a new head coach.

Conor McGregor wasn’t just in America last week for the Super Bowl, as ‘The Notorious’ also attended Atlanta’s American Top Team facility and got in some solid rounds on the mat with head coach Roan ‘Juaco’ Carneiro, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt and former UFC fighter.

After McGregor posted a picture of himself and Carneiro on social media, speculation was rife as to whether the former ‘champ-champ’ was looking for a new coach.

Speaking to Abhinav Kini of The Body Lock in a recent interview, however, Carneiro confirmed that McGregor, who trains under renowned coach John Kavanagh at SBG Ireland, was simply looking for somewhere to train for the day.
