Conor McGregor suggests he will never fully recover from broken leg

Conor McGregor has admitted he has had problems with his leg since his second fight with Nate Diaz in 2016.

McGregor suffered a broken leg during his second consecutive loss to Dustin Poirier last summer, and has yet to step in the octagon since as he continues his rehabilitation. The Irishman has returned to sparring and has also been grappling with his coach John Kavanagh at his Dublin gym but his comeback has been delayed until next year.

A whole host of opponents are expected to line up for a shot at arguably the UFC's biggest superstar when he is able to make a return to action. But McGregor admitted he has had problems with his leg since Diaz caught one of his kicks full on his knee in their rematch, which the Irishman won by decision.
