Conor McGregor has released a lengthy post-fight statement following his knockout loss to Dustin Poirier, revealing that he was treating the bout as a precursor to a boxing match with Manny Pacquiao and that the damage he accumulated to his lead leg was thoroughly deserved due to his one-dimensional approach to the fight.
McGregor posted the following statement, combined with video highlights from the UFC 257 main event, on his Instagram earlier today.
“Some highlights from my last fight! What a trilogy I now have on my hands. Exciting! With a handle on the leg kicks I will get back to having fun in there.
