McGregor was then stretchered off, just a day after he had predicted that he would put Poirier in a stretcher.

However, all his dejected spirits turned momentarily enthusiastic as he made his way back in the stretcher, almost appearing to thank the fans for their love and support, with a proud demeanour.
