“Oh I am flattered… I have been watching documentaries and realizing what’s not in it… Like there’s nothing about the business side of things… It’s just the starting of the fighting really, you know. And at the time there’s a lot going on… and I’m happy and I’m embracing it, you know, it keeps me in line.”

Fans roast McGregor for his previous UFC losses

After the interview aired, fans took to social media to express their opinions about McGregor’s statements.

One fan amusingly wrote, “Just a big mouth that can’t fight anymore.”

One fan sarcastically remarked, “You’ve won only one fight in seven years. I doubt you’ll win again in the UFC.”

These remarks seemed to question McGregor’s recent success and his ultimate prospects in the sport.

Some fans doubted McGregor’s abilities altogether, with comments like, “Can’t wait to see him get knocked out”, “Dude ain’t fighting again” and “He can’t win against top fighters.”

These opinions reflected fans’ lack of confidence in McGregor’s skills compared to elite competitors. However, ‘Mystic Mac’ is planning a big comeback. As per sources, he will face Chandler by the end of this year. Both the fighters are coming off losses against Dustin Poirier.
