For all his bombastic pre-fight trash-talk and hyperbole, Conor McGregor is a pretty straightforward guy when the dust settles. I guess that’s part of the Irishman’s charm.
Anyway, the former champ lost pretty handily to the reigning champ – Khabib Nurmagomedov – at UFC 230. Like, it wasn’t even that close. But despite the tough “L”, McGregor seems lucid in his breakdown of what happened, which he posted on Instagram.
Worth noting is that McGregor is hella respectful of Khabib, puts the blame for the loss squarely on his own shoulders, mentions nothing about the post-fight brawl, and even says he doesn’t mind taking another fight before the rematch.
For all his skill at winning, McGregor is truly talented at accepting losses and coming away better for them.
