“I was so sharp and so ready for this fight I cannot believe what has happened. The talk of me being off while walking in to the fight is nonsense. I was calm, ready, and confident. I am in shock what has taken place. The devil is literally staring at me right in front of my face here. I am not engaging. I will be at church tomorrow. I will overcome this. I will not be deterred. I will return,” McGregor shared.
Following McGregor’s apparent injury, Paul quickly mocked him on social media, going viral for a video.
“Recap for those who didn’t watch,” he shared.

“(Expletive) aside, prayers for you and your family. God does not like ugly, but God always forgives. Forgiveness is unconditional and limitless, provided through faith and sincere repentance,” he wrote on X.
Paul and McGregor are both two fighters – albeit in very different classes historically – that like to get attention in whatever way possible.
Unfortunately, Paul did so in a classless way on social media on Saturday evening, while McGregor suffered a tough injury in his return to the fighting ring.
