Conor McGregor’s return from a two-year absence from MMA at UFC 229 did not end well for him. “The Notorious” failed to reclaim the 155-pound title from Khabib Nurmagomedov, who ended up tapping him out by the fourth round of their main event fight.
But there were apparently a lot of other external factors that led to the fight’s outcome according to McGregor himself. During his recent guesting on the Tony Robbnins podcast, the Irish fighter revealed an injury he sustained during camp.
“Two and a half weeks before my last fight, I threw a front kick at a shooting Moldovan wrestler,” McGrgeor said (transcript via MMA Weekly).
