Embrace the schadenfreude.
As big fans of Conor McGregour ourselves here at Balls.ie, we were shocked and disappointed that he lost to Nate Diaz at UFC 196, but as fans of the sport of MMA, congratulations must be given to Stockton's finest for his performance and willingness to leave it all in the Octagon. We imagine most level-headed McGregor fans feel the same.
That was not the thought process for this Conor fan, who went full on rage-mode when Conor tapped, much to the amusement of his friends, who have since passed the footage on to us.
That's what ya call passion #bebe #redpanties

Good lord.
The idea that 'maybe he had money on the fight?' doesn't really fly either, as Coral bookmakers decided to give €500 free bets to four Conor McGregor fans that would have each won €5000 had Conor got the job done, and they didn't punch anything:
Coral UFC CamFour lads sat down to watch the McGregor fight after placing a few bets with Coral, take a look at how they like a lot of fans up early this morning dealt with the two intense rounds..

Conor will be back, don't worry about it, and certainly don't do yourself any physical damage because of a loss.
