Conor McGregor has admitted he will "not be the same" after suffering an injury long before he snapped his leg last year.
Fans are all aware of the very public broken leg McGregor suffered against Dustin Poirier in the summer of 2021 during their trilogy bout. But it's less widely discussed that he suffered another serious injury ahead of his fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018, and still opted to compete in the world title bout.
And in a recent Twitter response to a fan who was concerned about him losing his spring, McGregor explained the details of that injury; saying he had destroyed the metatarsal bones in his foot. That bout ultimately didn't go his way, but the Irishman continued to fight and has competed three times since that bout.
