But things didn't pan out as McGregor wanted, as Lobov fell to a unanimous points defeat to Fili.
As McGregor consoled Lobov backstage, he appears to use the vile term 'f****t' three times.
McGregor, speaking to the defeated Polish fighter says in a grainy footage: "He was f****t, everyone knew he was a f****t."
He then uses the slur one more time before the two UFC stars disappear behind a curtain.
