Herrig was very vocal in her criticism of McGregor after the incident, telling TMZ sports; "Whether he thought about it consciously or not, he put all the fighters and their corners... he put our lives in danger."

"I don’t care. What he did was wrong. I still think he's a piece of shit and I'm always going to think he's a piece of shit."
