There was some shock last night, and for those waking up this morning, to hear Conor McGregor lost his fight last night.
McGregor, who was fighting for the first time as a welterweight, was beaten by Nate Diaz.
Nate Diaz beat Notorious at UFC 196 by submission in the second round:
IT’S ALL OVER!!!

Understandably, Twitter users were a little shocked.
McGregor, who has become a national treasure, received messages of shock, support and Irish solidarity post-fight:

I want to jump into the ring and give conor mcgregor a big hug, and tell him not to define himself by his achievements or losses.
