During Lobov's bout, McGregor could be seen screaming encouragements and instructions to Lobov even though he was not in Lobov's corner. UFC tweeted an image of McGregor and called him "coach."

Eventually, the referee Marc Goddard warned McGregor about his distracting behavior. Goddard paused the fight in order to tell McGregor to reign in his enthusiasm. McGregor replied with "my bad" however McGregor was still seen shouting and pacing near the cage.
