Paul Felder slams Conor McGregor’s UFC 264 post-fight antics: “Leave these things out of your mouth or get out of the octagon”

Add Paul Felder to the list of people who were unhappy with Conor McGregor’s behavior after his UFC 264 loss to Dustin Poirier.

After his loss by TKO in the first round due to a doctor’s stoppage when his shin broke at the end of the first round, McGregor continued to shoot Poirier – mentioning his wife to start – while the former interim champion also claimed that McGregor said he was going to “murder” him.

Other angles of the post-fight exchange showed McGregor telling Poirier, “In your sleep you get it.”

In this week’s episode of UFC Round-Up, hosted by former UFC lightweight contender and current colors commentator Felder and welterweight contender Michael Chiesa, “The Irish Dragon” does wasn’t mince words on what he thought of McGregor’s post-fight antics.

“You’re on the ground with your leg snapped in half at the bottom, threatening to kill someone, to a man who’s just dominated you twice in a row now, he might walk around and kick you in the mouth, all strike your teeth and leave you for dead on this web, “said Felder.” You are the one who is able to get yourself killed, Conor, in this place.

“Show humility. Listen, this sport is violent. I understand. We’re supposed to fight each other, knock each other out. But at the end of the day, it’s not about murder. It’s not about your family. Leave these things out of your mouth, or get the hell out of the octagon, I never want to see you again.

Felder recently announced his retirement from the sport of MMA during the UFC Vegas 27 broadcast in May after compiling a 16-7 throughout his nearly decade-long professional career.

As a longtime veteran of the sport and someone who has been involved with the game in many ways, Felder understands that emotions can run high. But he also understands that there are certain lines not to be crossed, which he felt McGregor did on Saturday night.

“It’s not a street fight, it’s not life or death,” Felder explained. “Obviously in boxing and MMA there are injuries that literally kill people. So to talk about this stuff, to talk about this stuff is just disgusting and we’ve mentioned it a million times. What he said was wrong.
