Chael Sonnen, on his YT channel, highlighted the fact that individuals are increasingly inclined to share their injury reports on the internet, often motivated by a desire for attention through sympathy. Adding Conor McGregor’s distinct absence from such practices into the conversation, Sonnen stated that even when his leg was injured, Conor didn’t complain at the moment.

Even though Conor was in shock, “he called over Joe Rogan, and he finished his job that he promised he would do and entertain from bell to bell,” stated Chael Sonnon, providing a different perspective to the infamous post-fight comments at UFC 264.

“The American Gangster” also discussed potential reasons why Conor has not entered the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s testing pool. He stated that it’s plausible that his “injury could still be acting up to a degree that is the reason he hasn’t done the pool paperwork.”
