Jones credits McGregor for staying heading in the right direction despite loss<\/h2>\n

Not too long faraway from his loss, the previous UFC double champion shared a video to his social media of him showing off his latest MAC energy drink, and within the video, he wasn\u2019t wearing a supportive brace of any sort.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, he continued to discuss his newfound relationship with God and attempted to remain in positive spirits.<\/p>\n

Then, he went on to call for the result to be overturned, stating that the fight should\u2019ve been called a no contest due to the injury.<\/p>\n

Despite that, he has been praised by \u2018Bones\u2019 for continuing to be guided by God, with Jones crediting him for not falling off the wagon despite his loss, which is something Jones has fallen victim to before.<\/p>\n

\u201cConor has been publicly leaning on Christ,\u201d Jones recently told Ring Magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you find yourself attempting to resist the world, one in all the steps is God asking you ways bad you would like it, and you then turn around and get injured, it\u2019d be very easy to return to the bar and have this rage and animosity, but to date from Conor I\u2019m seeing he\u2019s still praising God.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat shows me so much about his character\u2026 I\u2019ve lost members of the family, I\u2019ve embarrassed myself, and each time something goes incorrect I all the time give praise back to God\u2026 To date he’s holding true, so meaning so much\u2026 Conor has already won\u2026 He\u2019s a extremely great example of humans will be so imperfect but so unique and special. I just hope he doesn\u2019t surrender and he lets his light shine.\u201d<\/p>\n
