Smith in contrast McGregor’s restoration to different fighters who suffered the identical ugly damage.
“(Chris) Weidman nonetheless hasn’t (from his damaged leg). I talked to Weidman as we speak. He’s nonetheless having struggles. He’s nonetheless struggling to get again. Anderson (Silva) took a very long time. Corey Hill took a very long time.
Anyone who’s damaged their leg has taken a very long time. He’s seemingly fairly healed up. It simply bugs me that he will get to leap out of the pool, juice up on no matter he’s juiced on, after which simply soar again within the pool and nobody’s going to say shit about it?
“I don’t know. It’s bizarre. It bothers me.”
Since his UFC 264 loss to Dustin Poirier, McGregor (22-6) is watching a two-fight skid. Whereas on his present hiatus from combating, the MMA star has been concerned in different extra-curricular, together with a job within the remake of the 1989 traditional Street Home.
