Conor McGregor and his SBG Ireland teammate Johnny Walker had a hilarious exchange on social media in light of the controversial doctor’s stoppage at UFC 294 this weekend.
Walker was hit with an illegal strike during the main card fight against Magomed Ankalaev. Despite the Brazilian appearing keen to continue, the cageside doctor reached the conclusion that he was not fit to fight. The bout was ruled a no contest due to an illegal strike.
The unfortunate ending and the drama that unfolded in the octagon afterward has become one of the major talking points about the UFC 294 event. Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor found one of the online memes extremely funny.

Conor McGregor was involved in one of the most infamous post-fight brawls in MMA history
Post-fight brawls are fairly uncommon in big MMA organizations like the UFC, ONE, Bellator or even in now-defunct promotions like Pride and Strikeforce. However, they grab massive headlines whenever there is an incident.
The most infamous brawl in UFC history broke out on the biggest pay-per-view event in its history. The build-up to Conor McGregor’s UFC 229 fight against his successor Khabib Nurmagomedov saw the Irishman launch scathing verbal attacks to win the mental battle.
But after defeating McGregor, Khabib initiated a physical altercation with the Irishman’s teammate Dillon Danis. McGregor was also engaged in a fistfight with the Dagestani fighter’s teammates. Both men were fined by the athletic commission and banned from competing for months for causing the brawl to break out.
