Media Rory McDonald torn up Mcgregor’s MCL and ACL in both knees. Mcgregor beasts through the injury.

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.

He insults Conor quite a bit in the interview though.
I mean he proceeds to say the present day Conor pulls out over a toe, after talking about this.
 
Why is Ratem sucking Conor's cock now? He'll never take you back lol
 
Risky move to pull in training, theres ways to get-in with more control but depending on the intensity of session but those sweeps can get a bit wild
 
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

Wish I had enough money to do that for my own knee
 
More likely a low grade of severity on those tears, otherwise it would be hard to believe he was able to fight four times in eleven months with less than half a year for surgical reconstruction and rehab.

He handled the snapped leg particularly well though so who knows.
 
I remember thinking that Conor looked strangely slow and ponderous in that fight.
 
between that and the Rob take seems like Rory can be a idiot sometimes. Or maybe bad luck and psychopathic tendencies comming out.

Young Conor was truly something else…


“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—.’

That's the first fight that made me like conor

Came away with a distinct knowing that I just witnessed some warrior shit

He's become, something else as a human.

But for a time, he was powerful.

I think Artem is exaggerating some, but conor was a bad dude coming up. Don't let our hate get in the way of our judgement of his fighting ability. He knocked out aldo like a baby and khabib respected his skills enough to shoot from half way across the cage to make sure he wasn't too close to get clipped. He wanted that early take down

Conor is a dick, but he was a great fighter in his prime and he was a fucking dog vs mendes

Stem cells ? Blasted full of peptides

No picture. You mean stupid for cutting himself on accident ? Happened to me too. Cutting prosciutto but towards myself. Cut my finger.
 
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.
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.

Yes that's also where this picture was taken:

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.

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.

Might be an extremely ironic thing to say considering how Conor is these days, but his mental fortitude really was no joke.
