Conor McGregor has taken to Instagram since his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 to provide his verdict on how the fight unfolded.

In an extensive post, the 30-year-old Irishman broke down each round and spoke candidly about his experience on the match.

"Although winning the early exchanges in four, he dips under again and I end up in a bad position with over three on the clock," he explained.

"I work to regain position and end up upright, with my back to the fence. A stable position. Here, however, I made a critical error of abandoning my overhook at this crucial time, exposing the back and I end up beaten fair and square.

"What can I say? It was a great fight and it was my pleasure.

"I will be back with my confidence high. Fully prepared.

"If it is not the rematch right away, no problem.



"I will face the next in line. It's all me always, anyway."

One UFC fan responded to the Notorious' post and delivered one of the best responses imaginable.

"I'm sorry," Instagram user slatsstrong said, before adding: "I disagree with your breakdown.

"Maybe too much of the s***e whisky you're pushing is getting to your head. In the sport/or the fight, I've seen a complete brutalisation where no round was won by you. And you always say you learn, never lose.

"Well, all this breakdown did was show me that you didn't learn anything. I came into the fight with you, behind you, like I have your entire career.

"But your lack of respect and how you ran/run your mouth was an embarrassment. In fact, you whispering 'it's only business' to him showed me that not even you stand behind what you spew.

"If you're going to try to talk trash like some of the best ever, [Muhammad] Ali, [Mike] Tyson, Floyd [Mayweather], win in an overwhelming fashion like they did. Your marginal victory with Nate [Diaz] and your losses since have been embarrassing. All bark with no bite.

"I am not going to give up on you, but I am not standing behind you. You're in this for the business and keep getting beat by men who are in it for legacy and to more or less shut your big mouth.

"I will close this with a bit of advice, lad: train as if you were the worst fighter in the world, instead of the best and you might start winning again.

"If you're not going to put in your best efforts to win, I will not put my efforts in to protect your name in these city streets I live on, all working-class Irish areas in Chicago... You fight for not only yourself, but a country, too.

"Take the 'business' out of this and start doing it for glory again. You were the best fighter in the world then, when glory was at stake, mate.

"Good luck. Let's see if you ever really do learn."
