The man who boxed Conor McGregor in a recent exhibition match in Dublin claims the UFC star caught him with the worst cheap shot he'd ever seen.
Amateur boxer Michael McGrane took to the ring with McGregor at Crumlin Boxing Club's annual 'Good Friday Show' last week.
The four-round contest ended in a draw and all smiles but McGrane, an electrician by trade, has claimed that McGregor hit with him a sneaky left hook when the pair were meant to touch gloves to start the fight.
McGrane told TMZ: "It was the cheapest shot I ever caught in me life, man.
"You're meant to go back to your corner, but Conor never went back to his corner. He leaped at me with a left hook."
He added: "Conor McGregor hit me a cheap shot in his own hometown!"
"The ref was on his side. There's no way I would have won that fight unless I knocked him out."
But McGrane was delighted to share the ring with the former two-weight UFC champion in the boxing club where McGregor first tried his hand at the fighting game aged 12.
The Notorious hasn't fought in a boxing match since his mega-money 2017 bout with Floyd Mayweather, which was believed to have earned him €100 million.
He is currently in talks for a UFC return this year, despite announcing his retirement with a social media post last month.
His last UFC fight ended by fourth round submission to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October last year at UFC 229.
