Even though he lost to Khabib, he should probably stick to UFC
Things have gone from bad to worse for Conor McGregor in the aftermath of his UFC 229 loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov. I mean, not only did he get beat in the Octagon, he also apparently can't even throw a football. Welcome back to primary school, McGregor: you're a loooooooooser.
The now-viral clip came after the Irish UFC fighter attended a Dallas Cowboys game as a guest of owner Jerry Jones. Along with meeting members of the team, he also got a chance to toss a ball around.
