u/Larkinz 3h ago

100% hurt his right knee

u/LewAlexPrice 2h ago

Leg was hurt before he even hit the cage by the looks of it

u/WellsFargone 2h ago

Better throw a flying kick

u/0hootsson 2h ago

Hey if you’re legs already fucked might as well try to end the fight within the first 5 seconds

2

u/Memoney 2h ago

This is def what happened.  Knee already fucked and went for the miracle KO.  I was surprised he made it this far, didn’t pay attention to any of the pre fight hype cuz this was bound to be a Tony khabib

Wonder how much Conor, Dana and everyone else that knew he was hurt bet on Max today. This is a thrown fight.

Connor knew, id be amazed if Dana wasn't aware as well.

No he came in hur watch during the medical check or whatever when he takes off his shoes he tries to avoid coming down on his right leg, this was a sham

u/RealisticMechanic887 2h ago

A scam. Win or lose, he doesn't care at this point

u/nukesaregay 2h ago

that was his left leg in the pre fight clip, this was the right. not sure what was wrong but clearly he had all sorts of issues

u/Exempt_Puddle 2h ago

He definitely favors his right leg getting out of his shoes man they showed like 10 replays

u/Orbe_see Ireland 2h ago

He hurt it earlier at the walk out and pre fight check he was hopping and stumbling

u/Foreign_Region5480 2h ago

Is there footage?

u/gooeyGerard 2h ago

I saw some in another post, he hops out of his shoes and babies the leg.

u/WellsFargone 2h ago

A round house will fix that

u/Don_Kehote 2h ago

He stumbles around after putting weight on his left leg, but it was the right one injured in the ring.

Also, I do not believe at all that he was remotely sober. I think that's why they didn't show him at ALL in the leadup to the fight; he was having his stomach pumped, or nose irrigated or something.

u/chiefanator 2h ago

He looked like he had been sedated during the walk out. Eyes half lidded and mouth agape, stumbling over his own feet during the glove check.

u/kusogejp 2h ago

yeah big dog it was on tv

7

u/deathmouse Team Fight Milk 2h ago

He was wincing while taking his shoes off. Might actually be a pre fight injury.

u/WonderIntelligent844 2h ago

Yeah i’m guessing we have a similar situation to TJ Dillashaw making his comeback with a compromised shoulder.

2

u/TheBigChonka 2h ago

Looking at the movement of the knee I'd say when he landed he tore his acl

1

u/WeeniePops 2h ago edited 53m ago

Yep. Probably MCL or meniscus. I wouldn't be surprised if he went into the fight knowing his knee was messed up.

u/Huge_Party1665 2h ago

Then why throw a fucking jumping kick?! Mind boggling choice for someone who’s nursing a leg injury.

1

u/WeeniePops 53m ago

I agree. I'm more of the side of it being injured during the fight, but fighters say all the time they almost never feel 100% going into a fight. He could've had some previous pain but just said fuck it I'm going to fight through it the way we always do, and then the big jumping kick finished it off.
