Nate Landwehr got Conor McGregor's attention on Saturday night.

The fan-friendly featherweight picked up a first-round knockout of Jamall Emmers in the featured preliminary bout of UFC Atlantic City. In classic "Nate the Train" style, Landwehr found himself in some early trouble, bled a lot, dug deep, and found a way to continuously pressure his opponent, which culminated in his comeback stoppage of Emmers.

With the win, Landwehr climbs back in the win column after dropping a decision to Dan Ige at UFC 289 this past June. Prior to that, the 35-year-old picked up three straight UFC victories, including stoppages of Austin Lingo and Ludovit Klein.

Afterward, Landwehr delivered a fiery and personality-filled post-fight interview, which led to a slew of reactions from pro fighters about the in-fight and post-fight work from Landwehr, including McGregor. Check out the reactions from the UFC athletes below.
