theyve got 2-3 gym's now
theres the main one, coach roddy's gym in charlestown, and i thought that Paddy was opening up a branch but i might have dreamt that
edit: yeh there a third gym now, Paddy has his own gym

SBG isn't even Kavanagh's creation. He talked about this on a recent podcast. Dude stole that ideal from Matt Thornton while getting his ass kicked at some 3rd rate event in Africa.

I'm sure it's a good gym
The fighters are all pretty good
I don't think it's a tristar or Jackson wink but I'm sure it's good

SBG Ireland has all of one (1) world-class fighter and a ton of clingers-on.
Kavanagh is a cuck.

Give Gallagher some time. The kid is 20 years old. His last two opponents in Bellator were a joke and Medvedovsky on friday isn't a big name as well, but it's not a good idea to feed him to the lions.
And yes, SBG is a great gym. You have to remember that MMA is still a niche sport in europe. Conor is unique, but they have some good prospects in Dublin.

They seem like a somewhat decent gym but I seriously can't stand Kavanagh or his smug personality and attitude. His hero warship, pot stirring, d-ck riding and social media remarks make me hate the guy and root against him on an Edmund like level. It's crazy too because Gunnar seems so polite and humble.

Straight blast gym is a very legitimate Jiu Jitsu school, with a solid emphasis on fundamentals. They bring major clout to any regional competitive scene they take part in, as well as having produced multiple IBJJF world champions, Mundial medal holders, and a host of other accolades in the BJJ-sphere.
Thornton, the founder, is the first black belt under Chris Haueter, who was one of the original 12 black belts in the US and has a martial arts lineage you can trace to the Machado brothers in Brazil and JKD's Dan Isatano. His teachings and methods, and those utilized by the black belts under him, have been widely successful and thus business has flourished to the point where there are now over 50 locations, spanning multiple continents.
Kavanagh is one of two third degree black belts under Thornton and, with his stable of fighters, is spearheading SBG's foray into the global MMA scene. Their success thus far is undeniable.
So to answer your question, they're no Mcdojo. Whether or not they'll become a prominent figure at the highest levels of MMA though, remains to be seen.
