It's been a few days since Connor McGregor lost to Dustin Poisier in the UFC 264 race, and UFC President Dana Bai continues to focus on the "mouth cannon" injury:
"It feels much better now, I was injured in that race and people often ask me when I sprained my leg and at what moment I was injured. President Bai Dana is asking, UFC officials are asking, UFC chief physician Davidson is asking... They knew I had anxiety about the sprain that could affect getting into the octagon. ”

In a recent interview with FOX Sports, "Mouth Cannon" talked about his ankle injury, and even before that he asked to wear a bandage to fight the diamond, but in the end he decided not to do so. Connor says:
"I used to have an ankle injury a few years ago and I wish I could play in this race with a bandage. I got approval from the Nevada Sports Committee, but in the end they didn't allow it. They let me not play with bandages, I don't know why. ”
Connor talks about an ankle injury
According to Connor's account, his injuries made him feel pain, inflammation and even affect movement during the fight. But Connor said his condition could improve after the surgery, saying his leg needs treatment and will undergo surgery. He got the treatment he needed most, which was for his tibia. Now his tibia is much better.
When talking about the future of the "mouth cannon", Bai Dana said that he has recovered well recently. Bai Dana said:
"He's going to take a break for about a year and then he can come back, which I don't know yet, we'll know." It's a tough fight in the world of martial arts, and Connor has created a lot of value here and made a lot of money, so we can look at where his future career goes. ”
