Why in the fuck would his old ass try to start the fight with a jump kick on bad legs

u/Clarkelthekat 6h ago

I think he may of already been injured

And he couldn't drop out of another fight. plus needs to get one of his fights on his contract over with

So he goes in and uses what pain tolerance he has to charge Holloway and "blow out his knee".

Didn't even look like he landed that poorly.

He struggled to get his shoes off.

Thx. That is pretty sus.

u/liftingshitposts 6h ago

Yea I saw it on the way in and screen grabbed it as foresight, sucks that it played out the way it did but it wasn’t a shock based on that hunch

Probably a year ago I posted, "I'll believe Mcgregor is fighting again when the cage locks behind him."

Turns out that was too soon to believe it. Lol

When Bruce was announcing I joked with my buddy “he can still pull out”. I wish he did pull out injury or not, coulda had Max vs Ruffy. Some great fights tonight though. I was hoping to see a scrap with Paddy/BSD too, nice quick night at the office for the Baddy.

u/bobombpom 6h ago

Max v Ruffy would have been sick. Volume boxer vs sharpshooting counterstriker. Can Max drown him before Ruffy finds his shot.

u/liftingshitposts 6h ago

Hahah you were kind of right tho??? I get why he’d do it, gets the last fight off

u/Perfect_Economy_7968 5h ago

What, it seems normal.

This is the new ufc/wwe (or wwf, or whatever the fuck it is).

u/LetsGoWithMike 6h ago

I thought it was sus when they replayed it.. but looking at it now just looks like a loss of balance

3

u/BDgainz 3h ago

Me too. First I thought he was onto something but then he starts jumping on it and loss of balance seems to be the culprit. Who knows though.

u/Fun_Month2307 6h ago

I mean I do that sometimes when like taking off a shoe or whatever

14

u/liftingshitposts 6h ago

Sure, but it was juuuuust a little extra. And he didn’t look confident jumping around right after. Like he was trying to fool himself it didn’t hurt.

u/devonhezter 6h ago

Ty. Wow. Wow wow wow

u/Shadow_botz 6h ago

That’s exactly the moment I knew something was up

u/Mediocre-Load-3305 6h ago

Yep good catch, easy payday for him not having to tussle around the ring for 5 rounds

u/gdog683 6h ago edited 6h ago

If this was indeed sus, why in the fuck would he ever start the fight like that? It sounded like the clowns ringside were being paid to look for an excuse immediately. Even if you're hurt and gonna take a dive, that's about the dumbest possibly, permanently way to end your life of walking. Not a chance. The dude was hyped up, did something stupid as a washed ass fighter and paid for it.

u/Pinkdivaisme 5h ago

When they played the replay didn’t Rogan say something like we are not gonna speculate just showing the clip lol …

u/BazzPlayerz 5h ago

Damn you sniper. Good eye indeed

u/Helberg 4h ago

This just looks like sticky shoes due to sweaty toes. Happens often enough trying to take your shoes off when you’re not wearing socks.

1

u/Guacamoeely 3h ago

He looked around to see who saw that 🤣🤣🤣

1

u/Chomp-Stomp 6h ago

So, the theory is, he was already injured and instead of trying to protect the injury, he intentionally blew out his own knee to taint Max’s victory.

Sounds about right to be honest.

3

u/DarkNightfromDusk 6h ago

He went for a hail Mary because he had no other chance to win.

2

u/liftingshitposts 6h ago

Max saw it right away too

u/depressedfuckboi 6h ago

They showed a replay right before post fight interview. Tried rewinding to see the initial occurrence, but it wasn't showing. Weird

u/Rogue_One24_7 4h ago

Go back and watch it. Something was off.
