Conor McGregor kept up his presence on Twitter recently, interacting with fans regarding several matters. Most, though, revolved around his last fight and his next one.
McGregor, a former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, revealed to a follower that he suffered a broken foot less than a month out from his fight last year vs. Nurmagomedov for the 155-pound belt.
I broke my foot 3 weeks out from the bout.
I still marched forward however, and also landed the final blows of the night.
On his blood brother.
I am happy with how the contest went and the lessons learned.
In my fighting and more importantly my preparation.
Time will reveal all. https://t.co/VNxbrfk6qx— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 11, 2019
“Notorious” also said he was “very happy with my defense” in the bout vs. Nurmagomedov, noting that he was in a difficult situation but recovered.
Very happy with my defense.
A precarious position with the head pinned against the fence. Every movement must be calculated as any over exertion leaves the guard open and could lead to a finishing blow. None of which came close.
Zero facial damage taken and I won the next round. https://t.co/1bcPWNQfRy— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 11, 2019
As for his next fight, McGregor said he is “in talks” to return.
In talks, in thoughts, and always and forever,
In training! https://t.co/JQ8ynBILy2— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 11, 2019
