He got manhandled that first round by Mendes, who also took this fight with no camp and a broken ankle and couldn't train.
Sounds like Artem is trying to make up with Conor to get some money.
Good on Rory.
This is not a new story fyi.
John Kavanagh wrote a book like 5 years ago, and told this story.
The claim is that Conor flew to get stem-cell therapy in Germany- The same place that fixed Dana's Meniere's
between that and the Rob take seems like Rory can be a idiot sometimes. Or maybe bad luck and psychopathic tendencies comming out.
That's the first fight that made me like conorYoung Conor was truly something else…

Conor McGregor won first UFC title with ‘no legs’ after Hall of Famer destroyed his knee during disaster camp
Artem Lobov claims his teammate-turned-enemy Conor McGregor beat Chad Mendes with 'no legs' after suffering two knee injuries in camp.bloodyelbow.com
“When he fought Mendes for the belt, in the documentary, they didn’t actually show the full truth,” Lobov told Ariel Helwani. “He messed up his knee training with Rory MacDonald. I was there in Canada when it happened.
Conor took him down, and Rory jumped scissor sweep right on his knee, and the crack was so loud.
“I was there when Professor [Neal] ElAttrache rang us and said, ‘Conor, you are not fighting. You need another year. potentially two years, and another surgery.’ Conor just said, ‘No, f— this, I’m fighting’ and put the phone down.
“We couldn’t even train for the camp. You know, he was just doing rehab the whole time. In the documentary, they showed when his knee went. That’s actually the good knee that went. So, his ACL was messed up on one knee, and as we were training, doing grappling, with three or four weeks left to the fight, he messed up his other knee, his MCL, and meniscus went in his other knee.
“So, now he was on no legs. You know, he had zero legs, he had one leg, and now he is suddenly on zero legs. Then Mendes gets put in rather than Aldo. A wrestler, we couldn’t wrestle at all in camp. So, this was just the worst fight you could possibly imagine.
“And what does he do? ‘I’m fighting. I don’t give a f—.’

Rory McDonald stabbed himself prior to UFC 170 win (graphic photo)
Warning: Graphic photo of injury below.Rory McDonald's victory over Demian Maia at UFC 170 earned him an additional $100,000 ($50,000 for the win, $50,000 for the Fight of the Night bonus), and has put him back into the conversation of top fighters in the champion-free welterweight...www.thescore.com
The first thought that came to my mind. Who the fuck does does that to someone in training? Espicially someone who's training for one of his biggest fights in the UFC.Scissor sweep? Does he mean the takedown? That's been known to destroy knees
If Rory is throwing out Kani Basamis in practice that's a huge dick move.

He did, yeah. I think he tore a ligament while planting his foot for one of the spinning heel kicks that he was spamming in every fight until that very occurrence.Didn't he get some bad knee injury in the middle of fighting Max freaking Holloway and just change up his style and wrestlefuck him? Young Conor was special no question.
