The Irishman suffered a horrific leg injury in the first round of the fight when he threw a low leg kick and awkwardly landed on the same foot. This nightmare injury didn’t allow him to continue, and he lost the bout via doctor’s stoppage. Since then, McGregor has undergone surgery and spent most of his time in recovery.
McGregor has also been seriously hitting the gym, which we can make out from his new and improved physique. The Irishman has put on a decent amount of lean muscle on his new frame and will probably move up a weight division to challenge his next opponent.
