As the dust of euphoria settled after Leon Edwards' emphatic victory, a video of Usman’s daughter Samirah bawling in agony after seeing her father get knocked out broke everyone's hearts. UFC superstar Conor McGregor jumped on the opportunity to jibe at Usman stating that fighters should stop bringing their families, especially their children, to fights. The former two-division champion tweeted: "I feel this deep. I do not suggest bringing family whatsoever. Especially the children. This is different fighting. I’ve done both sides of this and feel going to the mission solo is best. You can see family again post battle. Will definitely be continuing this way going forward."

He claimed that his daughter Samirah needs to see the highs and lows of her father's life and learn important lessons from them. "When my daughter was crying, that one, it got to me. I didn't like seeing that. And then, Conor tweeted something and it was kinda blasting me about for like bringing her to the fight. Like he tweeted some mean things, and it was like how low of people sometimes.'' He added: "I'm in a weird place like I'm trying to teach her. She has work ethic, but its kinda like,'' Uhh! I don't wanna do that today. I wanna quit." And I'm trying to teach her the best way I can without forcing her... But I'm not only gonna bring her because daddy's victorious. I am blessed right now with an opportunity to show my daughter that look how you can fall down, and look how you can get back up. And to see someone like Conor who does actually have children to say something like that, you're missing the mark big-time bro."

That's a very tough injury. I almost felt for him. I almost wanted to send him a message and say, 'Hey man, heal up, you'll be back'. That's just kind of who I am. This is a sport. It's a f***ing sport.'' Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Allan Mathew × Feedback Thank You!
