Unless a doctor says otherwise, Conor McGregor can’t fight for 180 days following the beating he took on Sunday morning at the hands and feet of Dustin Poirier. Insider reports the Irish fighter, who limped out of the cage following a surprising second-round knockout in Abu Dhabi, was handed the suspension as part of UFC protocol meant to protect its combatants. McGregor reportedly sustained injuries to his right tibia and fibula. A doctor would have to X-ray the 32-year-old brawler’s lower leg before he can climb back into the Octagon. Poirier, the American who kicked the life out of McGregor’s shins before finishing him off, has also been ordered to rest one week to nurse his wounds. UFC 257: Poirier TKOs McGregor, declares ‘I’m the champ’ “We compromised his leg, and he was in a bad position early just from the repeated leg kicks,” Poirier said. McGregor said one of his legs was “completely dead” after the bout on Fight Island, where the UFC has hosted fights during the Covid-19 pandemic.
