He basically admitted to taking HGH in order to heal, and I don't think there was any other way he could have recovered so fast. I don't mind at all. His opponents know what they are signing up for.

[@oliverbird6914]

Anything for healing should be allowed if safe. Chandler is on steroids anyhow

[@JamesOsyris]

Conor?........You have no need to fight anymore. You've made your money. There is no need to take anymore damage. You've done enough. You have your legacy. Retire with it intact health and all and live a good life. Retire proudly and become an ambassador for the sport you love.

[@Cloud007.]

Why?😂. You want that. He doesn't.

[@jamaloy]

@@Cloud007. I hardcore agree......But it might not be the best long term decision. Ego can dominate over being savvy and clever. I'll always tune into a Conor fight same as everyone else.......Plus all the drama. Very entertaining. But he really has nothing left to prove. So taking any extra damage or losses just seems stupid. He'll still be worshipped outside the octagon. He's a legend. But when is it sensible to call it a day?

What People dont seem to understand at the end of the Day this is price fighting. They are putting their health on the line for man made value. Most fighters are good People trying to make it big even if they have to take big risks. Its one of the many pitfalls in society.

Social media is social media. It’s a tool for these fighters to promote themselves and their fights. Shouldn’t really be taken too serious.

"Titanium Shin Bone"

[@benc6252]

I don't care what anyone says, coming out and throwing kicks with an already compromised leg and ending up with that injury is by far the worst fight IQ I've ever seen.

[@Renulph]

It's like when fighters throw punches with a broken hand to prove that it's not compromised, it's simultaneously stupid and smart.

[@benc6252]

@Lodey to be fair a broken hand doesn't stop your ability to literally stand up.

[@PowersBenzoCoaching]

Well you would know being a professional world champion fighter yourself there sport.

[@redrain860]

Also kept throwing them despite almost every kick getting checked.

So basically what McGregor saying..... (I have no reason not to believe him) he took the fight badly compromised severely injured, not a smart decision, aren't athletes taught to listen to there bodies?

[@MiguelMartinez-el1le]

Conors not known for pulling out of fights he's stubborn and got too much pride to let ppl think he backs out cuz of injuries. That's admirable for his heart but dangerous at the same time

[@wickipicki4563]

Conor would never pull out, he never missed wieght let alone use the towel, never pulled out and never tested positive

[@eight6oh811]

Good to see the king back doing media. This fight is gonna be huge

[@richman8082]

Chandler lost to Dustin, Gaethje and Charles. He is middle class. And all three first mentioned aren't even top. They would lose to Beneil and Islam and probably Gamrot and Arman. It's show fight against an easy choice like Cowboy

[@eight6oh811]
