McGregor, a UFC legend, and SBG teammate, met her after she left the octagon. John Kavanagh also helped her backstage.
John McCarthy was interviewed by Kavanagh after the fight. He said that the knee had been on since the second second.
"I don’t know what happened. It just buckled. Then I couldn’t even stand up to punch so I had no choice but to enter the dogfight.
"I went to the dogfight, and I told you that I'm good at the ground game.
"I thought that I was done, I thought I couldn’t go on. But I just grinned my teeth and just took the win at end of the day.
"A pure fighting heart. "I have a pure Irish heart.
