(CNN Spanish) -
Conor McGregor returned to the fight after a retirement that (once again) did not last long.
Before stepping into the octagon at UFC 257 in a rematch against American Dustin Poirier, the Irishman said he felt "revitalized."
The images from the second round seem to belie that.
Poirier knocked him out and McGregor later said that he "just wasn't as comfortable as he had to be" and blamed the resounding loss on his "inactivity."

The networks, as relentless as they tend to be with sporting failures, offered an additional blow.
These are some examples.
Don't cry for me: I'm already dead.
