As we all know by now, Conor McGregor injured his left shinbone at UFC 264. It caused the anticlimactic end of his headliner fight with Dustin Poirier as he now deals with a lengthy time on the sidelines.
What we don’t know is that Poirier also left the fight with lingering pain. As he said during his brief appearance on American Top Team’s Punchin’ In podcast, it was the first time he ended fight week dealing with that kind of soreness.
“I’ve been checked by a lot of heavy kickers, never before have I left fight week and been sore just on my actual bone,” he explained.
