"I know I would have calmed down, and part of me is thinking, 'Jesus, imagine it was just taken from me like that.' I would be a different person, and it was a bit scary, to be honest," he explained, per The Hollywood Reporter. "Like a stone, it's McGregor forever, and don't you forget it."

"He's a fighter, and he loves to fight. He's not practically bothered by losing. He says it all the time, you don't do this if you are not willing to lose," Chopra told BroBible. "Losing is a part of the game. I just thought that was interesting. He knew had to make sense of losing."
