Conor McGregor feels ‘tremendous’ after surgery on leg break in Dustin Poirier defeat

Conor McGregor has stated that he feels “tremendous” after undergoing surgery on a broken leg he suffered in Saturday night’s defeat to Dustin Poirier.

As reported by Sky Sports, doctors stopped the fight at the conclusion of the first round in Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena as McGregor lost balance, trapping his foot under himself and breaking his left leg in the process.

“Just out of the surgery room, everything went to plan, everything went perfect and I’m feeling tremendous. We’ve got six weeks on a crutch now and then we begin to build back,” McGregor said in a video posted on social media.

“A clean break of the tibia and it was not to be. Dustin, you can celebrate that illegitimate win all you want but you’ve done nothing in there. That second round would have shown all.”
