McGregor Men's Health coverMcGregor appears on the cover of Men’s Health magazine. In the interview he talks about how Carvalho’s death affected him.

How do I feel? How would you feel? It’s f**ked up. I wasn’t just watching that fight. I helped train a guy to kill someone, and then someone wound up dying. This is a f**king dangerous game. People call it a sport, but it’s fighting. I’m just making sure it ain’t me. And that’s f**ked up. Damn. I still can’t believe that kid is dead.
