Elated with the turnaround and the stoppage win, Queally jumped on top of the fence and celebrated with McGregor, who attended the Dublin venue to support his Straight Blast Gym friends and teammates.
Watch the finish and the celebration with McGregor here:
McGregor's celebration on Friday was muted compared to his wild behavior at a Bellator event in Ireland two years ago.
McGregor intended to storm the Bellator 187 cage so he could savour his teammate Charlie Ward's victory over John Redmond, but he ended up shoving a referee and causing chaos.
Bellator posted a video of the incident on its YouTube page. It has been viewed 1.5 million times.
That was close!
