MMA fighters put their bodies on the lines throughout their fighting career and always run a risk of suffering a career-threatening injury inside the cage. Notably, fighters like Anderson Silva, Chris Weidman, and most recently Conor McGregor found themselves at the receiving end of such injuries. Similarly, in a viral video, another MMA fighter found himself in agonizing pain.

In the viral video, the fans could see two fighters, with a substantial height difference, exchanging blows. However, the fight didn’t last long as one of the fighters, while defending against a kick from his opponent, spiraled his lower tibia.

How did the fans react to the ‘jelly legs’ injury?

The fans appeared worried about the fighter and further drew parallels with similar injuries in UFC history.

Conor McGregor and his career-threatening injury

When former UFC champion Conor McGregor entered the Octagon on a fateful day of 10 July 2021, the fighter targeted a revenge win against the ‘Diamond’ Poirier at UFC 264.

However, toward the closing seconds of the first round, the Irishman threw a punch combo and, while dodging back, lost his balance and suffered a horrendous injury.

Since then, the Dublin-born fighter is on a long layoff and eyeing a comeback in the early half of 2023.
