UFC lightweight contender Beneil Dariush has admitted that he "feels for" Conor McGregor as the Irishman continues his road to recovery from a broken leg.
By the time the Irishman steps back into the cage, even for a sparring session, he will have been out of competition for over a year after suffering a gruesome injury against Dustin Poirier last summer. And despite previously mocking Dariush, who is ranked No.6 in the lightweight division, the Iranian-born fighter has expressed his sympathy for his rival.
McGregor called Dariush "the biggest nobody" in the UFC, which prompted major backlash on social media for the Irishman, who deleted the tweet. But Dariush insists that he did not even see the tweet, as he spends very little time on Twitter or Instagram.
