FacebookThe fight was marred in controversy as the crowd could be heard booing during the drab affair.
Many took to social media to slam the fight including McGregor.
However, the Irishman opted to make a disgusting post to suggest that Paul will fight Colon in his next fight.
McGregor wrote: “They are eyeing Prichard Colon for next opponent.”
He has since deleted the horrible post from social media.
Colon is paralysed, having suffered a brain haemorrhage after his fight with Terrel Williams in 2015.
The Puerto Rican was placed into a coma for 221 days, after which he was moved from the hospital to his mother’s home in Orlando, Florida.
Despite the MMA fighter removing the post, many people saw it and slammed him for it.

Elsewhere, before the fight Paul was met with a chorus of boos from the crowd.
He arrived at the ring by a green Chevvy car alongside his brother Logan with a pigeon in a cage.
The former Disney star was dressed in silver shorts, gloves and a jacket totalling 360 diamonds and costing £790,000.
Viewers had more issues with the fight as Netflix’s live stream was hit with technical difficulties such as buffering and sound issues.
Paul admitted that he failed to knock out Tyson “on purpose” when quizzed by reporters.
Despite suffering defeat, Tyson is not ready to hang up the gloves.
Post-fight, he cheekily challenged Logan Paul to a fight, leaving him perplexed.
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson round-by-round
MIKE TYSON's long-awaited return to the ring didn't have the fairytale ending fight fans dreamed of.
SunSport’s boxing expert Wally Downes Jr recaps one of the drabbest and most forgettable nights in boxing history.
And he didn’t hold back, issuing a scathing assessment of social media sensation Jake Paul.
Round One
Paul says “I love you, Mike” just before the opening bell sounds. He quickly runs away and holds the boxing legend.
Tyson draws a big reaction from the crowd as he lands a jab and a good right hand.
Verdict: 10-9 Tyson
Round Two
Paul ran away in the opener and held – just like we thought he would.
Tommy Fury had it first and now Mike Tyson. It’s clever because Tyson will tire. Paul tags Tyson’s body with a straight right.
Tyson looks spent now. 180 seconds in and the fight looks over.
Verdict: 10-9 Tyson
Round Three
The legend cannot even keep his gumshield in. As expected it’s a waste of time. Paul has run away until the 58-year-old has tired.
Shooting ducks in a barrel now. Tyson might get hurt here. Paul lands a couple of clumsy shots and Tyson wobbles backwards.
Tragic after three.
Verdict: 10-9 Paul
Round Four
This is proper rubbish. The crowd are bored and boos are being heard.
This is just two tired big lumps going at it. One a legend, one a promoter.
Verdict 10-9 Paul
Round Five
Paul jabs the body and aims right for the head and another one-two clips the icon.
Tyson cannot keep his mouthpiece in, he is gasping for air. Paul lands a left hook but then so does Tyson.
Verdict 10-9 Paul
Round Six
Thank God these weren’t three-minute rounds. We are getting about four punches per round.
Tyson is gasping in the air but replays show a left hook did graze Paul’s beard.
Verdict 10-9 Paul
Round Seven
Tyson slips a jab and tries an uppercut. The commentator admits it has been a “sad” spectacle.
The AT&T stadium has been utterly stunk out. Paul is looking just as tired as Tyson.
Verdict 10-9 Paul
Round Eight
Go back to YouTube, Jake. You’re an excellent conman. But you’ve never been a boxer.
The Judges decide: 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73. I’m glad Tyson gets paid and has stayed safe.
But what a laughable performance from Paul to add to his stinker with Tommy Fury.
Verdict 10-9 Paul
