Conor was at this place before when he lost to Diaz and went on to become even bigger after.
I think Ilia will comeback, the only way to do it is to admit Justin was better, learn how and get better, I think he will do this but all his fanboys making excuses for him doesn’t help.
Conor McGregor reacts to Ilia Topuria's loss to Justin Gaethje and discusses where the former champion goes from here:
"I knew that was going to happen to him. I've seen the training... You need to have it put on you in the gym.
He's a bit flat-footed. He has his areas. He's not fully complete, but he's good, and he can make inroads.
His face will have to heal, for sure. I'd say his face is smashed up.
He got banged up badly over the course of the fight, which caused him to quit. It's going to be a dark place for him right now. He's going to have to dig deep. Can he do it? I think he could. There'll be motivation to do it, and I wish him well."
