It’s been an emotional day for Conor McGregor.
Last night, the world was shocked when he lost his first match in months.
While supporters were quick to stand behind the Dubliner, previous opponents and Twitter trolls took the opportunity to knock the featherweight champion while he was quite literally down.
Now in his first Instagram post since his defeat, the Notorious MMA decided to address the fans (and critics) in a motivating post.
He writes:
‘I stormed in and put it all on the line. I took a shot and missed.
I will never apologize for taking a shot.
Sh*t happens.
I’ll take this loss like a man. I will not shy away from it. I will not change who I am. If another champion goes up 2 weights let me know.
If your tired of me talking money, take a nap.
I’ll still be here when you wake up with the highest PPV and the gate. Still talking multi 7’s.
Thank you to the true support and f*ck the hate that came out of the woodwork. I love it all. Its still steak for breakfast.
I’ve been here many times in my life in some form or another. I’ll eat it all and come back stronger.
Aldo you are a pussy. Dos anjos you are a pussy.
When the history books are written, I showed up. You showed up on Twitter.
To the fans! Never ever shy away from challenges. Never run from adversity. Face yourself head on.
Nate I will see you again.’
Seems like you can’t keep a fighter down for long.
