Video – Conor McGregor distraught following Katie Taylor’s heartbreaking defeat in homecoming title fight

Global phenomenon Conor McGregor has been captured on film in the moments that Katie Taylor tasted defeat for the first time in her career.

Taylor, previously unblemished as a professional, took on Chantelle Cameron at light welterweight, aiming to secure titles in the division she last fought in 2019. Ultimately though, the Brit Cameron secured two of the judge’s scorecards, whilst one scored it a draw between the pair.

Conor McGregor is well-known to be one of Katie Taylor’s biggest supporters, and although trying to maintain a positive demeanor, you could see in his eyes that he hurt for his friend and compatriot Taylor, who he often cites as an inspiration of his.
