Conor McGregor details the injury he suffered in the lead-up to his fight with Chad Mendes at UFC 189.
Despite winning the interim featherweight title against top ranked contender Chad Mendes at UFC 189, Conor McGregor's detractors were still hesitant to give him credit.
The Irishman was originally scheduled to challenge Jose Aldo for the official 145 lbs. championship in the main event, but "Scarface" pulled out of the bout citing a rib injury.
Enter "Money" Mendes. McGregor TKO'd the two-time title challenger in the dying stages of the 2nd round, but many were quick to point out that Mendes had taken the fight on two weeks' notice.
