Footage from Conor McGregor's new Netflix documentary showed how the UFC star injured his foot before fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov.
McGregor, 34, injured two of his toes just three weeks before fighting bitter rival Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October 2018. The Irishman would go on to be tapped out in the fourth round by Nurmagomedov, but their grudge fight will mostly be remembered for the chaotic scenes that unfolded afterwards.
During a sparring session with Moldovan fighter Kosti Gnusariov at his SBG HQ, McGregor landed awkwardly on his foot after being taken down. The Irishman instantly recognised his broken toes by holding his leg in the air as the session came to a halt. McGregor's coach John Kavanagh tried his best to downplay the injury by suggesting the toes could be dislocated, but McGregor feared the worst.
