‘The Notorious’ lashed out at UFC light heavyweight contender Anthony Smith over his comments that Mystic Mac’s leg healed way too fast. Former UFC 2 division champion Conor McGregor suffered a horrific leg break in his last fight against Dustin Poirier at the T-Mobile Arena in Nevada on 10th July 2021. Although it has been over one and a half years, the Irishman is yet to grace the Octagon. Since then, he has returned to training and has been updating his fans with regular social media posts during his training sessions.

For the same reason, fans globally and even UFC fighters such as Anthony Smith have been left wondering. A leg break of the same level takes time to heal. Furthermore, McGregor has never looked in better shape. With an injury of this sort, how can one achieve such a god-like physique?

The American light heavyweight fighter hinted that Mystic Mac’s leg break perhaps healed too quickly. “It bothers the f*ck out of me” he claimed. Firstly, the Irish globetrotter pulled out of the USADA pool, for which there could only be 1 reason, he claimed. Furthermore, he is looking “jacked as sh*t” which indicated that he might be taking the help of steroids to heal quicker.

 

Clean-shaved McGregor was quick to reply and called Smith a “rat“; he further claimed that Smith, along with others, would be much happier if McGregor was unable to play with his children the same way again.

In the second tweet of the same series, ‘The Notorious‘ replied by claiming that Anthony Smith is a “loser!“. He said, “The % of the bones joining back after a break like this is so low. You think I give a f**k about anything else. I am the most tested fighter all time in combat sport. I give everything to this game.

You – Nothing!” he added.
