“It’s got to be Holloway,” McGregor said. “Do that shit again. Just do that thing again. This guy never engaged. He called the stoppage. He said, ‘Ref, ref!’ He’s the one who stops the fight.”
McGregor claimed he could have continued despite the injury.
“Imagine if I had just said, ‘Yeah, yeah,’ and jumped over the fence. I won. He doesn’t want to fight,” McGregor said. “I would have given him one leg. He didn’t come near me.”
“The Notorious” said the ending continues to bother him and reiterated his desire to face Holloway again.
“So shocking and so heartbreaking for me and Fing is still dealing with it,” McGregor said. “But it has to be Holloway. Come on, just Fing dust yourself off. Do it again.”
