‘You Can See Where It Breaks’- Joe Rogan Breaks Down Conor McGregor’s Freak Injury at UFC 264
Follow Us
Injuries are part of combat sports such as MMA and boxing. Fighters often suffer nasty cuts and other severe injuries while competing in the octagon. However, there have been only a few instances in the UFC where a fighter’s leg has completely snapped in half. Anderson Silva and most recently Chris Weidman and Conor McGregor are examples that come to mind.
McGregor suffered arguably the most dangerous injury of his life when he broke his leg in the very first round of his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier. UFC faithful and Dustin Poirier himself believed it was because of him checking a kick with his knee. However, clips that have emerged since, suggest otherwise.

Conor McGregor’s first-round assessment at UFC 264
In the third fight, ‘The Notorious’ came out in much better shape. He used his movement well and utilized kicks to back Dustin Poirier up against the fence in order to set up his right hand. However, ‘The Notorious’ jumped prematurely on a guillotine choke against a fighter who is a far superior Jiu-Jitsu fighter. This allowed ‘The Diamond’ to gain top control from where he unleashed lethal punches and elbows, 28 strikes to be precise.

Despite looking a lot better than he did in the second fight, an unfortunate injury ended McGregor’s chances of securing a win in the trilogy. Although both men will definitely fight again at some point, it will not be anytime soon given McGregor will be out for a while.
