Conor was definitely hurt before he got in the cage.

McGregor clearly won that fight.

I don’t think he took a dive or he was injured. I just think this was a freak accident. It’s not a good look he didn’t at least try to fight through it and go out on his shield though. Carlos Ulberg just did and won.

He did look nervous and not like Conor before the fight. During the walkouts I was thinking “this dosent feel right, his walkout if normally way more hype”. It felt like he was just coming to lay his gloves down and give a proper goodbye to the fans, and I think he was about to get worked even without the knee thing. This coming from the biggest Conor fan on here.

Dana should 100% issue some sort of partial refund

Yea it’s not like he did the jump kick and then just laid there.

He popped up, did another kick and then once he got up again he tried to throw a punch and fell again.

The struggle with the shoe was interesting, but he ran out pretty hot to start.

Yea, agree I think people are looking too much into the prefight emotion. He might have been trying to not have the adrenaline rush so you got a more somber type of walk out than usual. It’s been 5 years, he is on the old end of a fighters shelf life anyways. Then you add in the last time he was in the octagon he shattered his leg. Plus he has more money than any ufc fighter ever and is absolutely living up the life. This had recipe for disaster all over it with pre fight injury history, long lay off, his new life style. It’s a lot different getting up early and training when you need that fight to eat and live vs sailing around on a yacht and fighting for fun.

The rest of the card was full of exciting fights and UFC will be just fine with its roster. No one is going to match peak Mcgregor energy but paddy, suga show, Strickland and the Hulk are all entertaining in and out the octagon.

Yeah it’s callled putting on a show. That was some WWE crap they pulled last night. He was injured before the fight and that con artist scum bag got his check

It’s more dramatic for people to imagine a big conspiracy, but the more likely reality is that Conor was dealing with a ton of nerves being out of the fight game for so long, probably knew he was about to get rekt by Max, and then suffered a freak accident doing a flashy kick in the cage. It’s not inconceivable at all that his 38-year old, PED-ridden body broke down trying to add to a highlight reel.
