    McGregor gave a valiant account of himself in the early rounds but eventually succumbed to fatigue and was stopped in the tenth.
    A fan of the UFC superstar shared a highlight reel of the Irishman’s ninth-round display against Money on Twitter early on Wednesday morning, which Mystic Mac quickly reflected on.
    The UFC’s first simultaneous two-weight champion tweeted: “Round 9. I was playing ping pong with this guys head in there at many times in this fight.”
    SunSport revealed in January 2021 that talks over a blockbuster rematch between the pair had taken place.

    Last September, Mayweather confirmed that negotiations over a second showdown had resumed.
    And McGregor has no doubt in his mind that he’d get the better of the 46-year-old second time around.
    He continued: “If you don’t think there is some real nice adjustments that can be made and implemented in a second fight, to get the job finished, you’re silly.”
    McGregor, 34, is currently gearing up to make his eagerly-anticipated return to the octagon.

    The UFC’s poster boy hasn’t set foot inside the cage since breaking his leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier last July.
    McGregor’s comeback fight is set to be against fellow fan favourite Michael Chandler – who he coached opposite on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter.
    But a date for their mouthwatering showdown has yet to be finalised.
    That’s because McGregor is currently out of the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s testing pool – which he must be in for a minimum of six months before he’s eligible to compete.
    The UFC could, however, could grant their poster boy an exemption to the requirement.
    McGregor launched a stinging attack on USADA in March when they re-affirmed his requirement to be in the pool for six months.

    The enraged Irishman tweeted: “This is my issue. I’ve not lied once.
    “Nor have I tested positive. Ever.
    “I have over 70 clean tests under this program, yet they are consistently coming out after I speak in a manner that makes it seem I am lying.
    “It’s ridiculous. F**k used. You are in The Bin. Over 70 clean tests.

    “Never violated once. I will not be scapegoated by this garbage organization.
    “You are not the be-all end-all in this equation USADA.” More

    But Spurs fought back to earn a point against United thanks to strikes from Pedro Porro and Heung-min Son.
    Old Trafford chief Ten Hag has plenty of credit in the bank after ending the club’s trophy-drought in February by lifting the Carabao Cup and has also guided them to the FA Cup Final where they will meet neighbours City on June 3.
    However, he has suffered some humiliating results along the way during his first term in charge, such as the 7-0 thrashing at Liverpool.
    And he has come under criticism from some quarters of the Stretford End by stating last night’s result “was a good draw”.

    Ten Hag said: “Some thought 90 per cent was enough. I know they are not robots and fatigue is an issue but you have to give it everything on every occasion. That is the basis.
    “We took a bit of the gas off and that was our problem. I think it’s been that for a few games where we are sharp and coming ahead and [haven’t] kept it going.
    “We are disappointed – we were 2-0 up. We had the chances to make it 3-1 which we didn’t take.
    “We were not good over the 90 minutes, we did not play brilliant. After half-time, being up 2-0, we had to score another goal.

    “We have to manage the game and keep the ball. Not give the ball away so easily, the goal was quite obvious.
    “We have to block the crosses, we have to be proactive and come out and we didn’t squeeze out. It was so easy for them, easy for them to score a goal.
    “We need energy and we have to be ready for Sunday (against Aston Villa). But in the end, good draw.”
    Supporters quickly took to Twitter after hearing that final comment with one saying: “Ten Hag just said 2-2 is a good draw has he lost the plot.”
    Another wrote: “Bottling a 2 goal lead against a rubbish Spurs and calling it a good draw. Last few interviews of Ten Hag give me Ole vibes.”
    A fellow fan said: “Who brought on the players .. who picks the teams .. Ole took the blame all the time because at the end of the day the manager has the responsibility.. meanwhile Ten Hag is saying this was a good draw.”
