Unless certified by his doctor, American UFC fighter Conor McGregor had to be away from the ring for six months with a knee injury in the defeat of Dustin Poirier.
MMA.tv confirm this information. Before that, Conor McGregor limped away from Etihad Arena (Abu Dhabi) on crutches, and admitted that Dustin Poirier’s turret sweep made his legs “paralyzed”.
The Irish boxer also said, he had never experienced such a bad feeling.

McGregor is likely to return sooner, if allowed by his doctor. However, he was still banned from negotiating play within 30 days of losing the Poirier knockout. At the 45-day mark, if the right-tibial X-ray of McGregor is okay, he can take the stage.
Before the Poirier match on January 23, McGregor mentioned the third match with the opponent. He repeated this as he limped away from his octagon: “I have to go back. I can’t let this bad feeling hang on.”
It was the first time McGregor was knocked out in his MMA career. Four defeats before, the 32-year-old boxer pleaded for goods, when the opponent locked his neck.
The defeat of Poirier affected McGregor’s reputation and image. According to the sheet Marca, the Irish boxer is sure to have a reduced bonus if he earns a boxing match with Manny Pacquiao. The rematch door of Khabib or Nate Diaz at UFC is also difficult.
