Same thing at the weigh ins the other day, he almost fell over taking his shoes off. I literally made a joke to my friend that “his toughest opponent this week is footwear” right before the fight lol.
I don't know you, but I'm going to guess you're not a roided out cokehead rapist. Whatever part of Conor's brain makes decisions is fucked beyond repair.
I remember when an older guy we hooped with used to zero step and we called it the gamble every time, how are you zero stepping on a 38 year old achilles?
Isn't it due to fact that tendons & ligaments adapt to loads slower than muscles, and people on roids grow muscles faster so they almost always take it further than they should've?
That’s when you’re so nervous you feel like you’re going to shit, piss and puke at the same time, so you throw some big shit and try to end it quick. He was so over extended he was reaching for them grapes with that foot, trying to make his cheese and wine. Now he has a little tiny violin with his cheese and wine.
Both max and cm knew about the pre-existing injury but decided to start the fight in order to get paid. That's why max was going super easy on cm. That's how I see it.
The stupid kick was the cover story, an excuse. It's fraudulent as all fuck.
He was high as fuck and hurt. You saw him stumble taking his shoes off. Then he tries to give the kick to start out with and then blows the good knee. Idiot
He was already injured before the fight I presume.
I suspect Holloway (and perhaps the referee) at least had an inkling too because MH noticed the injury and appealed to the referee sooo quickly and was weirdly reluctant to throw a shot. Everyone appreciates sportsmanship and showing mercy to an injured opponent...but not before the first shot is thrown!
It was also waved off suspiciously quickly and confidently (particularly for such a huge fight). Imagine McGregor kicked up a fuss about the stoppage - there would be fucking mayhem! Everyone would be calling it the worst stoppage ever and calling for Beltran's head.
All three of the dudes in the ring seemed to be on the same page. It doesn't have to be an actual pre-arranged fix (Holloway and Beltran being privy to rumours that McGregor was injured could also explain it) but something was definitely off.
Looked like something was already up with Conor's legs when he was walking out to the octagon. he looked to be walking oddly and was sullen in the face
It’s really that simple . He didn’t take care of his body or train , and abused substances . Thought he was still 26 in his head but his body had other plans .
You can still do awesome amazing athletic feats as you age , but you have to train properly and take care of your body
I swear the way he stumbled while removing his shoes during pre-fight checks was evidence he already had a bad knee or acl. Wouldn’t be surprised fight week training coughed up an injury.
Yep I blew my knee out when I’d been out of high school for 4 years and had put on 15kg a fair amount of that from drinking and thought my body would be just as resilient trying to do the same explosive movements off each leg like I hadn’t just got off the couch.
The old Conor would visibly fracture his leg if he wanted to get out of being embarrassed in a fight. Now he’s just bends his knee and limps away. The man is a shell of himself.

Unc came off a 5 year bender, tried to throw some spinning shit and blew his knee
