I was honestly surprised he survived the 9th round, as his legs were jelly with a minute left in that round. There was still 1:55 in the 10th when it was stopped, and there was no chance in hell he would have "wobbled back to his corner" as McGregor himself suggested in the post fight interview. He would have eaten the mat hard. Might have got up before the 10 count, but would have been put right back down and for good.
