So is "Irish Edmund" an appropriate nickname for one of Ireland's foremost sports superstars?

As you may or may not know, renowned coach to Conor McGregor, John Kavanagh, has acquired the pseudonym "Irish Edmund".

For non-followers of this sport, this is a satirical alias, making reference to a US based coach "Edmond Tarverdyan", who coached probably the most famous female UFC competitor to date in "Ronda Rousey".

However he became the object of much criticism and slander in UFC circles, as his questionable coaching tactics were thought by many to inadvertently cause additionally the swift demise of Rousey's brief but illustrious stint in the UFC (i.e. what many attribute to his general incompetency and ill advised tactics).

What's important to bear in mind however is, Rousey was a decorated competitor previous to joining his stable of athletes, and her success certainly early on, came almost exclusively by way of her bullying olympic class judo style, which was acquired long before she met Tarverdyan

McGregor however was raised from day 1 under Kavanagh. It's not like Kavanagh just slipped in a took the reigns at the height of the now infamous stars career (as Edmund did with Rousey).

As a result of Kavanaghs rise to fame by way of being the original coach to international megastar McGregor, many athletes from all over the globe have swept to his gym to try and acquire the recipe to whatever secret hot sauce he used to produce McGregor.

But what we've seen is a subsequent fairly steady losing streak from the vast majority of said athletes (thus, "Irish Edmund").

.....

Question being simply, is this just an unfortunate co-incidence?

Or has fame and glory gone to Kavanaghs head and he's playing a bit fast-and-lose with the careers of these potential future champions?
