Not even McGregor seems to have been as outraged as the fans by the setback. After the duel, the Irishman seemed to accept the result well. “I took a risk by going to welterweight, I felt like I dominated in the first round, but I ended up being inefficient with my energy. But I'm humble in victory and defeat, I respect Nate. He came, accepted the fight at the last minute and did his job”, said the Irishman.
