Conor McGregor had an inkling, he said, that his leg may break in his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) broke his leg at the end of Round 1, but the former UFC dual-champ had previously revealed that he entered the fight with stress fractures in his leg . The cageside doctor waved the fight off as soon as it was noticed McGregor’s left leg was broken, giving Poirier the TKO win. That’s why McGregor says he was in pain, but didn’t agonize as much as Chris Weidman and Anderson Silva did when they broke their legs because he already saw it coming. He thinks the shock factor contributed to the former UFC middleweight champions’ exhibition of pain after their legs broke.
