Conor McGregor undergoes surgery on broken leg after UFC 264 loss, details recovery timeline
Conor McGregor completely a successful 3-hour surgery on his broken leg Sunday following a gruesome loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
McGregor’s (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) trilogy fight with Poirier (28-6 MMA, 20-5 UFC) was cut short when the former two-division champ broke his left lower tibia and fibula off a missed punch toward the end of the first round of the lightweight bout, which took place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
“The Notorious” was unable to continue into the second frame, and Poirier was declared the winner by TKO. McGregor was taken out of the octagon a stretcher in the aftermath of the fight, and was transported to Los Angeles for surgery at Cedars-Sinai hospital.
McGregor was under the knife for more than three hours, Dr. El Attrache and Dr. Milton Little performed the operation, which saw a intramedullary rod inserted in his tibia, as well as a small plate and screws to repair the fibula, a first reported by TMZ.
After the surgery, McGregor posted a statement on social media with a six-week timeline for his recovery (via Twitter):
Just out of the surgery room guys! Surgery went excellent! Feeling tremendous! 6 weeks on crutch and we build back! Let’s go! God bless
