The Notorious has been well and truly humbled.
Conor McGregor has been left to reflect on a bruising and battering defeat to Nate Diaz at UFC 196.
McGregor faced the media after the fight and, although he still looked sharp, the usually brash and cocky McGregor was visibly, and understandably, humbled by the loss.
The featherweight champion addressed his shortcomings in an open and frank assessment at the press conference, admitting that he panicked in the second round, allowing Diaz to capitalise.

Possibly the most interesting fallout from the press conference was McGregor's announcement that he plans to return to the featherweight division to defend his crown.

When asked who he'd like to face between Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar, McGregor composed himself before eventually favouring a rematch with the Brazilian.

The Notorious was also clearly unhappy about the tweet posted by
Aldo immediately after this fight.
