UFC 264 came and went. The trilogy fight that was hyped up for some time with Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor ended after one round as a doctor's stoppage when McGregor suffered a scary injury to his leg. As always, reactions came pouring in from the sports world after the fight. Manny Pacquiao was one of the stars to post his reaction.
Congrats to @DustinPoirier on winning the trilogy. Tough injury for @TheNotoriousMMA but he’ll be back. #UFC264

As Pacquiao says, McGregor will be back, and his trash talk even after the injury at UFC 264 proved that he wants more from Poirier.
How you talking mess from the ground?!!!

Daniel Cormier also reacted as the UFC 264 event stole the headlines on Saturday night.
Crazy to think that at the end of the weigh in Conor said he would be taken out on a stretcher. And now Conor gets taken out on a stretcher. Man this game we play is so crazy!!!! Hats off to the Diamond of Lafayette!! @DustinPoirier

And of course, Jake Paul had to give his two cents in on the fight.
My new offer for Conor Mcgregor is $23 dollars

The fight had been talked about for a long time and unfortunately was cut short as McGregor had to be stretchered off due to the injury.
Some NBA stars gave their reactions on Twitter as well after the stoppage ended the night at UFC 264.
Ahhh hate to see it end like that speedy recovery @TheNotoriousMMA

Perhaps the best part was the interview of McGregor as he remained on the ground in pain, at least Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso thought that was a bit entertaining.
Ay bruh.. 😂the interview in the ground though

Hopefully McGregor can bounce back and return to his high level, but for now, he will have to recover and live with a one-round trilogy ending at UFC 264 against Poirier. Stay tuned for more coming from McGregor, because he simply never stops.
