Conor McGregor has revealed his blistering rant at Dustin Poirier came about because he feared his career was over.
The Irishman had been bitter in the build-up to their third fight at UFC 264 in Las Vegas, and was heading towards the second round when he broke his leg while stepping back from a kick. And he claimed while lying in his hospital bed that it was a fear of losing fighting forever that caused his enraged reaction after the bout.
McGregor declared the pair's feud was "not over" and threatened to attack Poirier after the bout, as well as making crude comments towards his wife Jolie. But in new footage from his soon-to-be-released Netflix documentary 'McGregor Forever', he declared that he was in a dark place when he took aim at his rival.
