Hmm. Maybe it’s because he didn’t tell anybody about his injury because he didn’t want the fight to be cancelled. It’s a very bad idea to do this because it can cause the injury to become much worse, but many fighters likely do this. Cain used to do it all the time and now he’s fucked up. He would get injured and continue training and fight with a bunch of problems. In the first JDS fight, he had a fucked up ACL (needed cortisone shot or something just to compete that night), an elbow injury (needed bone scraped down after the fight) and was just coming off of surgery for a torn rotator cuff he suffered in the Lesnar fight, so he had a pretty long layoff.
Lots of people fight with bad injuries and Cain used to do it pretty often and not tell anybody (not tell the commission or anybody outside of his gym), so Conor doing the same would not be surprising. There could be quite a few other reasons why Conor would choose not to reveal the injury to anybody and decide to fight with it. One of those reasons could be because many Irish fans spend thousands just to see him fight and for him to pull out would be a HUGE let down for them because they lost a lot of money because of it.
It’s also because Conor makes a lot of money and has to do so much media obligations, to do it more than once for the same person is f’n frustrating so no surprise he was never interested in wasting his time giving Aldo, Mr. I rarely show up to fight, an immediate rematch. Conor fights through his injuries sometimes. It’s a VERY bad thing to do, but he has still done it once or twice. There is no reason for him to have ever lied about an injury. Maybe you’re a Conor hater though, so you’ll just shit on him no matter what anyway because that’s what you all do. It’s like you’re all the same f’n person.
Think before you post.
