Conor McGregor may have lost his fight against Nate Diaz in Vegas last night, but the Irishman was humble as ever in his defeat.
Instead of down playing his loss, Conor admitted that it was a “bitter pill to swallow.” Understanding where he went wrong in this match, Conor now vows to impress at the next opportunity.
Speaking at a press conference after the fight, he said, “I took a shot and went at it. I was simply inefficient with my energy. I made errors. He went into autopilot and I went into panic mode.
“This is the game. This is the fight business. I will come back. I make no excuses. It is what it is. I simply didn’t have it in me. There are many lessons to be learned but I’m happy that I will learn, and grow, and come back.
“It’s a tough pill to swallow. We can run from adversity or we can face it head on. I’ll keep my ear to the ground and I’ll listen to what the fans want most.
“I’m still really enjoying it. I’m not tired of it. I’m not cut, I’m simply heartbroken.”
He’ll always be a champ in our eyes!
