Conor McGregor recently had another take on his UFC 229 defeat, but this one is a little bit more difficult to decipher.
“We lost the match but won the battle. The war goes on,” McGregor wrote on Instagram Monday.
In the photo, McGregor appears to be holding a glass of his Proper No. 12 whiskey while wearing an outfit courtesy of Dolce & Gabbana. With that in mind, “winning the battle” could refer to financial rewards, as McGregor claimed that he would make $50 million for his bout with Khabib Nurmagmedov. Additionally, his whiskey was a sponsor at UFC 229.
