Conor McGregor was quite active on X today, closely following UFC 307. He reacted to Mario Bautista’s controversial win over Jose Aldo and supported Stephen Thompson after his loss to Joaquin Buckley. The latter extended his winning streak to five with a knockout victory over the welterweight veteran Thompson. Following the defeat, McGregor offered some valuable advice to Thompson after his consecutive losses.
‘New Mansa’ defeated ‘Wonderboy’ via KO at 2:17 of Round 3. After the loss, Thompson shared a heartfelt message with his fans, expressing disappointment in his performance but gratitude for their unwavering support. On X, he admitted he had little to say but was thankful for his loyal fanbase. McGregor responded to the post, offering a breakdown of the 41-year-old’s game plan mistakes:
He wrote, “My brother Stephen, STAND YOUR GROUND! You are more accurate, faster, more skill, faster eye. Stand your ground and fire! Skipping back for what? What are we skipping back for? Get them hurt first then you can skip and dance around. But hurt them first. Stand and fire missiles! You have an incredible array! Stand your ground and trust yourself! Rest up, brother! Unlucky in there!”
‘Wonderboy’ took McGregor’s advice in stride and responded positively to the Irish fighter. Thompson expressed his appreciation for the guidance, noting that he values the input of a fellow martial artist. McGregor also chimed in on the controversy surrounding Jose Aldo’s fight, stating that Aldo was robbed and claiming the judges weren’t even paying attention to the fight.
