Conor McGregor Training Hard After Gruesomely Breaking His Leg!
UFC champion Conor McGregor claims it wasn’t Dustin Poirier who gruesomely broke his leg during their trilogy fight. Conor is now saying that he knew the leg may give out, but he decided to continue with the fight despite the serious injury…
CelebnSports247.com reports that Conor McGregor states the ’cause the limb was “severely damaged” heading into the scrap.
The 33-year-old former UFC double champ made the declaration in a series of tweets on Wednesday:
In my last camp I’d a severely damaged left leg. Many of my sessions consisted of starting in open guard bottom. And staying there. Full rounds remaining on bottom. I was beating people up until they backed away from me. It then translated to the fight. True story.

In fact, Conor says he didn’t have a big reaction to the painful break — unlike Chris Weidman and Anderson Silva — because he was well aware the leg may snap during the UFC 264 fight on July 10.
He said in another Tweet:
Same leg, same spot. I attribute it to why I wasn’t in as much shock as Chris/Anderson where. I knew something may happen in advance. Chris was upset with my quote. Felt I was aiming at him. I was not. If any constellation to my reaction, It was because id a heads up it may snap. https://t.co/d04yqkfBhB
