Conor McGregor mötte den regerande lättviktsmästaren, Khabib Nurmagomedov, på UFC 229 i Las Vegas, den 6:e oktober 2018. En match som Nurmagomedov vann i den fjärde ronden via submission (neck crank).
Nu säger McGregor att han var skadad inför den matchen.
Via Twitter
Att McGregor är en flitig användare av Twitter är ingen nyhet. När han inte bråkar med någon där så svarar han ibland fans på deras frågor. Det var just på Twitter som McGregor fick en fråga gällande sitt fotarbete under Nurmagomedov-matchen.
What happened to your light on your foot in and out footwork against khabib? Flattooted chin down stalking and shoulder rolling is what i saw

Bruten fot
Det intressanta var kanske inte så mycket själva frågan som McGregors svar:
I broke my foot 3 weeks out from the bout.
I still marched forward however, and also landed the final blows of the night.
On his blood brother.
I am happy with how the contest went and the lessons learned.
In my fighting and more importantly my preparation.
Time will reveal all. https://t.co/VNxbrfk6qx— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 11, 2019

Delar av det svaret lockade andra mma-fans att undra exakt vad McGregor var nöjd med i den matchen, och McGregor svarade sin vana trogen:
Very happy with my defense.
A precarious position with the head pinned against the fence. Every movement must be calculated as any over exertion leaves the guard open and could lead to a finishing blow. None of which came close.
Zero facial damage taken and I won the next round. https://t.co/1bcPWNQfRy— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 11, 2019

McGregor är inte den som tidigare ljugit om skador. Men en bruten fot är inget som har nämnts tidigare. Vad tror om det hela?
