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.
You disrespect the dedication and hardwork to the sport that every fighter puts in when you talk sh!t. Win or lose we are all warriors and deserve respect. F*^k anyone talking what they don’t know - come say it to my face.
Conor McGregor reacts to Ilia Topuria's loss to Justin Gaethje and discusses where the former champion goes from here:
"I knew that was going to happen to him. I've seen the training... You need to have it put on you in the gym.
He's a bit flat-footed. He has his areas. He's not fully complete, but he's good, and he can make inroads.
His face will have to heal, for sure. I'd say his face is smashed up.
He got banged up badly over the course of the fight, which caused him to quit. It's going to be a dark place for him right now. He's going to have to dig deep. Can he do it? I think he could. There'll be motivation to do it, and I wish him well."
Ilia Topuria just went OFF on Arman Tsarukyan:
“I’m gonna embarrass you in front of everyone… When it comes to the octagon, I’m the king. I do with you whatever I want to f****** do. I’m gonna break his jaw in the first round.” 😳
