New footage from Conor McGregor's documentary has detailed the severity of a hand injury that sidelined him for all of 2019.
McGregor, 34, broke his hand during training roughly five months after his UFC loss to bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov. The former two-weight champion was in "fight shape" at the time of his injury, which delayed his return until the beginning of 2020. Brought to light in his Netflix documentary 'McGregor Forever', the Irishman first noticed something was wrong when his hand started to click in training.
"Oh this is clicking, like literally clicking. It's like moving into a click or something," McGregor said whilst moving his wrist around. "It feels a bit broke to be honest. It's banged up." McGregor was then informed that his hand was broken and he would need to undergo surgery to fix it, preventing him from training for three months.
