1st of all it was just a mild traumatic brain injury not some kind of huge long lasting damage
2nd what lots of fans are pointing to his antics as of late as proof he is suffering cte. OMG Conor has always acted in that way it's just a publicity stunt and you fools are buying it
Those don't understand the master showman that conor is

However former ringside doctor and current emergency physician Darragh O'Carroll is adamant that the finish had far less to do with McGregor's gassing and more to do with legitimate head trauma.
"Fatigue may cause sluggish and slow movements, but does not cause the imbalance and poor coordination exhibited by McGregor in the 10th round," O'Carroll wrote in a post for Tonic. "Being wobbly, in the setting of pugilistic trauma, will always be treated as the result of head trauma and not as fatigue.

"To let a fighter continue on would be grossly negligent," Carroll stated.
Referee Robert Byrd was criticised by certain individuals, primarily McGregor fans, for his timing of the stoppage as some argued that the UFC lightweight champion must have had his wits about him considering the fact that he didn't hit the deck at any point.
But O'Carroll has defended the official's decision to step in when he did. O'Carroll said:
"Ataxia, or dizziness and loss of balance, is one of the hallmarks of concussion, a type of mild traumatic brain injury."
