Conor McGregor is currently recovering from surgery to fix a snapped tibia he suffered in the main event of UFC 264. It appeared as though, after a round in which Dustin Poirier dominated his rival, McGregor broke his leg when a kick of his collided against Poirier’s elbow.
Since that moment McGregor, along with issuing death threats against Poirier and his family, has sought to mitigate Poirier’s responsibility for the fight ending injury. McGregor’s story is that he injured his leg in training camp and that he went into the fight with stress fractures in the leg that would eventually break.
