Sõbra matši jälgides kohtunikku tõuganud kahekordne MMA-tšempion Conor McGregor palus enesekontrolli kaotamise pärast vabandust, kuid süüdistab kohtunikku jätkuvalt halbades otsustes.

McGregor käis möödunud nädalal Dublinis kaasa elamas oma tiimikaaslasele Charlie Wardile, kes võitles John Redmondiga. Ward võitis esimeses raundis ning McGregor tahtis teda õnnitlema minna, kuid seepeale läks ta hoopis kohtunik Mark Goddardiga kähmlema, vahendab BBC. McGregori rahustamiseks kutsuti turvamehed.

McGregor avaldas oma Instagrami kontol pika vabanduskirja, kuid tõdes, et kohtunik oli lähedal ühele suurele veale. «

Kohtunik oli tegemas õõvastavat otsust, proovides turgutada meelemärkuseta võitlejat ning sundides teda viima matši teise raundi. Isegi vaatamata tema treeneri soovidele,» selgitas McGregor, et kaotas enda üle kontrolli ainult heade kavatsuste tõttu.

Nimeliselt ta siiski Goddardi ees ei vabandanud, vaid tõi oma pöördumises välja vastasklubi liikmed ja ürituse korraldajad.

 

I sincerely apologize for my behavior at last weekends fight event in Dublin. While trying to support a loyal teammate and friend, I let my emotions get the best of me and acted out of line. As a multiple weight UFC champion, executive producer, role model and public figure, I must hold myself to a higher standard. The referee Marc Godard was making a horrendous decision in trying to pick an unconscious fighter up off the floor and force the fight to continue into the second round. Even against the wishes of the said fighters coach. The fight was over. After witnessing my fighter in a fight where the worst happened and the opponent passed away from his injuries on the night, I thought the worst was about to happen again, and I lost it and over reacted. I am sorry to everyone. I sincerely apologize to the Director of the Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation, Mike Mazzulli, all the officials and staff working the event, Andy Ryan and his fighter John, two stonch ones that put up a great fight every time. That side will always have my respect, and lastly every one of my fans. I love yous all! I’ve always learned from my mistakes and this will be no different.
