Conor McGregor Loses To Dustin Poirier Again

Conor McGregor lost to Dustin Poirier again via TKO due to a leg injury. Conor injured his lower tibia after crashing to the floor. He could have done with some  crash mats as it was a heavy fall which saw his leg bend in a horrific position. Fortunate the referee Herb Dean called the lightweight bout after seeing that McGregor was injured.

Even though it was a horrific injury is seems as it the surgery went well according to sources. Dana White has indicated that there is room for a fourth fight between the pair. If that is the case then they will both need to get back onto their puzzle mats and resume training. Conor will especially need to put in a lot of effort on his puzzle mats as he may need to rehabilitate his injured leg. I am sure the doctors have it under control.

One thing is certain is that the fight demonstrated the benefit of having crash mats. They definitely cushion the fall and would have been a great help in this situation. Maybe the UFC will consider having future fight with a ring covered with crash mats. Stranger things have happened. Conor McGregor surely would have benefitted.
