A former UFC champion made a terrible suggestion to Conor McGregor after his unfortunate defeat in UFC 264.
The MMA world was shocked after McGregor suffered a terrible ankle injury in the final seconds of the first round of the rubber game against Dustin Porier.
Looking back, some people think that the top two UFC champions have no chance to beat Poirier regardless of whether they have a broken ankle or not.
These include former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping.
According to Bispin, McGregor’s longtime coach John Cavanagh said his fighter was wrong Will win the knockout In the second round.
For the “Earl”, Poirier spent most of his time on McGregor, and this injury was an “excuse” for some obvious loss that was destined to happen.
“Just like his [McGregor’s] Coach John Cavanagh said,’Oh, I didn’t see anything that worries me. I know we will be eliminated in the second round. Nothing else there worries me.If this is true, John Cavanagh, Connor should fire you immediately,” Bisping said BT Sport’s UFC 264 post-match show.
“This is very worrying, you are on your back, you are controlled,” he continued. “This is a 10-8 game, which is worrying. You don’t want to be kicked in your ass. It’s that simple. This is what is happening.”
“The broken leg is unfortunate. But, as I said, it gave McGregor an excuse or reason to explain why the battle ended. If that didn’t happen, come on! He turns the situation around and completes the possibility of Dustin [Poirier] In the second round, when the first round should be Connor’s best round, the result was not good. This is not a good show. “

In the end, due to the doctor’s shutdown, Poirier was declared the winner. On the other hand, McGregor insisted that his enemies “do nothing” to him, and if his foot was not injured, things would be completely different.
“This is the first round of hell,” McGregor said in a Twitter posts“It will be nice to enter the second round, and then see what it is. But it is-a complete fracture of the tibia, it is not.”
“Dustin, you can celebrate that illegal victory as you like, but you didn’t do anything there,” the Irishman added. “The second round will show everything. We move on.”
