Then, the "Notorious MMA" was carried away by the excitement of the moment and while fighting with the employees of the event, he physically attacked the match referee with fists. "I sincerely apologize for my behavior in the fight last weekend in Dublin, while trying to support a loyal partner and friend, I let my emotions take me and I behaved badly." The 29-year-old fighter felt ashamed of his actions, as he feels he is a role model for many people. "As a UFC champion, executive producer, role model and public figure, I must maintain higher standards for myself." However, he did not hesitate Let part of the blame fall on the referee that night: "Referee Marc Godard made the horrible decision to try to lift an inconvenient fighter from the ground for the fight to continue, even though the coaches of that player had already indicated that this was not done, the fight was over. "McGregor explains that he was" waiting for the worst to happen ", recalling the fight of Joao Carvalho, who died the night after a bout of severe blows to the head he received. "I thought something like that could happen that night and that's why I reacted that way," he continues in his Instagram post. "I sincerely apologize to the people who worked on the event, the directors, and the wrestlers, they will always have my respect and finally my fans, I love them very much, I will learn from my mistakes"
