TMZ Sports reported UFC star Conor McGregor underwent surgery to repair a broken tibia after suffering the gruesome injury against Dustin Poirier in Las Vegas on Saturday at UFC 264.
McGregor, 32, snapped his leg at the end of the first of round of the trilogy fight, which led to a doctor's stoppage in between rounds. It's the first time in McGregor's career he's suffered back-to-back losses—each by way of Poirier.
TMZ noted Dr. Neal El Attrache performed the operation at Cedars Sinai's Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles. McGregor (22-6, 19 KOs) is expected to remain in the hospital until the middle of next week.
