Dominick Cruz says Conor McGregor needs to man up and accept his stoppage loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
The Irishman has refused to accept defeat, calling it an ‘illegitimate win’ for Poirier, after breaking his leg in a gruesome injury at the end of the first round.
Cruz, a former WEC and UFC bantamweight champion, has implored McGregor to go back to the drawing board and assess where things went wrong instead of unleashing tirade after tirade at Poirier and his family.
“After multiple losses like that, you tend to sit on your hands and shut up,” Cruz said on the UFC 264 post-fight show (h/t MMA Junkie).
