Conor McGregor: MMA death ‘a truly bitter pill to swallow’
“I hope we remember Joao as a champion, who pursued his dream doing what he loved, and show him the eternal respect and admiration he deserves... I was ringside supporting my team-mate, and the fight was so back and forth, that I just can’t understand it,” said McGregor on Facebook.
“It is such a rare occurrence, that I don’t know how to take this. To see a young man doing what he loves, competing for a chance at a better life, and then to have it taken away is truly heartbreaking.”
