The Nevada State Athletic Commission is refuting Conor McGregorâs claim that they were aware he had a leg injury ahead of UFC 264.
McGregor (22-6 MMA) squared off with Dustin Poirier (28-6 MMA) for a third time last weekend in Nevada, this after splitting their first two encounters.
The pair had initially collided in a featherweight contest in 2014, with the Irishman emerging victorious by way of first round knockout. McGregor and Poirier would later rematch (this time at lightweight) at UFC 257, where âThe Diamondâ was able to exact his revenge by finishing Conor McGregor in the second round.
