Conor McGregor suffered a gruesome ankle injury as his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier was stopped after the first round at UFC 264 in Las Vegas, RT reports.
McGregor’s left ankle appeared to snap as he took a step backwards after throwing a punch, with the fight being called off by doctors at the end of the round as the Irishman was down in agony.
The contest was awarded to Poirier as a TKO doctor stoppage as the American claimed outright bragging rights over his Irish rival with two wins from three in their trilogy.
