To prepare, the Irishman revealed something he had never done before: abstain from all physical contact during his training camp. “The fire is in my stomach, roaring, and it is about to be unleashed”, he said before the fight with the confidence that characterizes him. 🔥

However, the sacrifice was not enough. McGregor ended up losing to Holloway by technical knockout just after the first round began, after suffering a knee injury.
