Wrong! In early 2021, McGregor returned to the UFC to face Dustin Poirier, and, oh boy, he should’ve stayed retired because this was the fight where McGregor broke his leg. He threw a powerful kick, but his tibia snapped just above the ankle as he stepped back. The match was immediately stopped, and Poirier was declared the winner by TKO due to McGregor’s injury.
It took a lot of time to recover after such a gruesome and unfortunate injury, but McGregor is back in business, and he looks jacked as hell. Recently, he’s been taunting Alexander Volkanovski, a featherweight champion from Australia, saying that he’d make quick work of Volkanovski, to which the Aussie replied: “Let’s do it at UFC 300.”
Let’s see how much more buff Conor can get in the next few months, but he certainly takes his comeback seriously.
