Bruce Buffer reflects on his emotional moment with Conor McGregor following UFC 329:
"I have a lot of history with Conor, and I hated to see that happen. When I got face-to-face with him, I put my hand on his shoulder just to say, โAre you OK?โ
He came in, hugged me, and put his head on my shoulder. We had that moment together, which was caught in an amazing picture that Iโve noticed has gone pretty viral.
That was a moment between us, and it was what it was.โ
Youโre all a bunch of fucking bums hating on my brotherโs name, especially fighters.
Without Conor McGregor, everyone in MMA would still be making 10K fighting on Spike TV. He changed the game forever.
Watching him fight through things people donโt come back from inspires me to keep facing my own demons. He didnโt have to go for it, but he still did for the love of the game. Thatโs what separates him. A real motherfucking G.
Nobody knows the real man. He taught me the game, taught me about life, and so much more than I could ever put into words. He taught me how to believe in myself, think bigger, trust my instincts, keep going when the whole world doubts you, and never settle. Iโll always be grateful for everything heโs taught me and everything he continues to teach me. My brother for life. ๐ค
If you hate on that, youโll never achieve greatness.
Always up. The legend. The best ever to do it. McGregor forever.
Not the outcome we wanted but Gods plan is always the right one. Thank you Conor for fight. Took a lot to make that walk after these past few years. Sending prayers for a speedy recovery. Shout out to my family, team , friends and blessed expressers for the support. What a life we live. See at the next one. ๐ค๐ป
Pure hate online for McGregor. Which I donโt get. The man transcended the sport. It was a big ask to come back after 5years BUT them injuries are uncontrollable
I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the Giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins,
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen. ๐๐ผ
I was so sharp and so ready for this fight I cannot believe what has happened. The talk of me being off while walking in to the fight is nonsense. I was calm, ready, and confident. I am in shock what has taken place. The devil is literally staring at me right in front of my face here. I am not engaging. I will be at church tomorrow.
I will overcome this.
I will not be deterred.
I will return.
