Conor McGregor may have been defeated in the ring, but claims his career is far from over, thanking fans for supporting him with a post he uploaded from his yacht after his loss to Dustin Fourier in UFC 257. The Irishman posted a picture of himself with a injured leg, sitting comfortably in a fancy suit while trying to push Added against Fourier to complete a "trilogy" against the opponent whose balance against him is currently 1: 1.
"Thank you so much for the support," McGregor wrote, "it was not my night / morning, but it was a big battle that could be improved from. I'm excited about the possibility of a trilogy that will be in Blockbuster, now in my hands. Dustin is a strong opponent, and I look forward to meeting him again "Trying to lift my leg, and my spirit on the way home. Happy Sunday."

McGregor admitted after the loss it was "heartbreaking", but Forbes analyzed the numbers behind his earnings.
It was only his third fight since 2017, but the Irishman wants a lot more fights.
His official payment for the battle on Saturday night was $ 5 million, but much more than his pay-per-view company, which he put in at least about $ 20 million.
In his previous fight he earned $ 30 million just from this field.
Fourier, for comparison, received his highest sum ever for battle - a million dollars.
So here are some more numbers: The price for watching the fights was $ 69.99 on ESPN.
The official price of the ticket ranges from $ 215 to $ 1,350.
In addition, McGregor's whiskey brand has been flying up in the past two years, up 460 percent last year, and ranked fourth among local brands.
In 2020 McGregor was ranked 16th on the list of top-earning athletes in the world, with revenues of $ 48 million - his fifth consecutive year in the top-100, and the only UFC fighter to make the list.
His peak year was 2018 - when he made $ 99 million following his well-publicized fight against Floyd Mayweather.
His next big thing is reportedly supposed to be a boxing match against Filipino Mani Pacquiao, but the Irishman claims he prefers to focus on wrestling.
"But I'm open, we'll see what happens," he said, "the battle with Manny was already closed, I don't know what will happen."
