Conor McGregor faced Dustin Poirier at the UFC 264 main event. ‘The Diamond’ won that fight via TKO as McGregor wasn’t able to compete after the first round due to a leg injury.

McGregor snapped his leg towards the end of the first round and could not continue any further. Ever since the fight ended ‘Notorious’ has been talking about the same. ‘Notorious’ has made various claims about the fight, recently saying that he had stress fractures even before entering the fight.

Ever since McGregor has made comments about the same. Many people have shared their views on his remarks. Recently former MMA fighter Chael Sonnen also talked about the same. He said, “Coz he’s not lying, did he have a stress fracture, sure? I mean maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. Let’s just say he did. Conor didn’t have stress fractures that Poirier didn’t have.”

“The fact that he admitted it and used it as an excuse, very in line with what other fighters do. Just unique for McGregor, he hasn’t done that before. He’s never made himself look weak, he’s always showed power.”

Sonnen talked about the fact that McGregor has never been like this after a defeat. He talked about how ‘Notorious’ has always looked to accept a defeat with grace and has always come back from it stronger.

He said, “Conor has been very gracious, always. Even if you go back to the second Poirier fight, Conor got cleaned up. Says look I got to make some adjustments, that guy has a hell of a weapon I wasn’t familiar with the calf kicks, I got to change some stuff, but my history says I am pretty good at making adjustments, let’s do it a third time.”

“But he was a real gentleman. I could say that about every Conor defeat he has had, I can even say that about a couple of victories.”

However, with McGregor getting his 3rd loss in 4 fights against ‘The Diamond’, people believe that there is no chance of McGregor returning. ‘Notorious’ however feels different as he has already challenged Poirier for a 4th fight.

Poirier however will face Charles Oliveira next, therefore that fight seems unlikely to happen soon.
