Conor, the guy that said if Jesus Christ were to come back to earth he would lose to Conor? And now his ankle collapses on itself? Hey CONner, looks like He didn’t even need to show up in person to ruin your day.
That’s gotta suck.
NOT for the faint of heart - former EMT here & as I saw what was starting to happen, I did not watch further. Whew.
Couldn’t have happen to a nicer guy.
Too bad he didn’t break his vocal cords.
I consider myself a man’s man. I’m an alpha male. I hunt, fish, played football, love sports, including boxing. I can’t see how anyone finds enjoyment in watching this garbage.
Conor McGregor promised to return "better than ever" after having surgery on the broken leg sustained in defeat by Dustin Poirier on Saturday.
The 32-year-old Irishman left the UFC 264 octagon on a stretcher and with his foot in a protective boot in Las Vegas.
Replays showed him rolling over on his ankle as he stepped backwards late in round one and the fight was stopped moments later.
"A clean break of the tibia and it was not to be," McGregor said on Instagram.
Ouchies
Dustin Poirier is a Louisiana Cajun. Ya don’t mess with those boys. 🙂
Had same injury if I recall...fell on ice...foot was turned backwards...in a snow storm I was cleaning the car off as it was really coming down...doctor my wife was seeing did not get his drive cleared....Not sure of the spelling but tri malalor fracture. Its where the tibia and fibula and ankle come together. Had 26 screws in 4 plates and two lag screws into the ankle to hold the broken off pieces...Still remember the Dilaudid :) a full year to heal. NOT FUN HOLLERING FOR HELP IN A SNOWSTORM :( prayers to Colin
Has anyone seen a slow motion replay of the kick that Poirier is talking about?
I really hope someone convinces Conor to retire.
He turns 33 in a couple days.
After taxes, he is worth at least $200 million.
Time to stop. Save your brain and your body.
Ouch.
That’s gotta hurt.
