The pair clashed in their trilogy bout which saw each fighter have one win apiece to their name ahead of the fight.<\/p>\n<p>Despite starting the fight strongly with a series of leg kicks, McGregor was on the receiving end of some brutal hits by his American opponent. The Irishman then lost his footing and suffered a broken tibia in the process which led to the fight being called off and a win awarded to Poirier.<\/p>\n<p>Over two years on from the defeat McGregor looks finally set to return to action having teased a comeback on several occasions. The 35-year-old is set to face Michael Chandler following the pair&#8217;s appearance on The Ultimate Fighter series.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/4\/590x\/secondary\/5107544.jpg?r=1702150266474\"><\/p>\n<p>While fans will be eager to see McGregor return to The Octagon, UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan has remained skeptical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one comes back from that,\u201d Rogan said on his Joe Rogan Experience podcast in reference to McGregor&#8217;s injury. &#8220;No one has ever come back from that catastrophic leg break. The shin break.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not a single athlete has come back from it and performed at the same level.\u00a0Anderson Silva\u2019s the only guy who came back and fought multiple times, and he was not the same guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Silva&#8217;s gruesome leg break came back in 2013 when he faced Chris Weidman\u00a0at UFC 168. The force from a kick fractured his lower leg in one of the most shocking injuries seen in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the fight Silva had 30 wins and just five defeats to his name, and following the injury he would only compete on seven more occasions, claiming just one win.<\/p>\n<p>McGregor will be hoping for better luck with his record sitting at 22 wins and six defeats amid his leg break. The fighter has re-entered the\u00a0USADA testing pool in a bid to allow him to compete in the near future.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Although the update has been welcome news to UFC fans, Rogan insisted that McGregor has his full support if he did decide to take an illegal substance to help aid his recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI certainly support guys taking things to recover from injuries like Conor did with his leg injury,\u201d Rogan said. \u201cOne-hundred percent. No question. I\u2019m 100 percent all-in on that. That\u2019s the only way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey just started testing him recently. He was jacked and also, that\u2019s when you should do it, when you have something like a catastrophic leg injury.\u00a0I mean, he\u2019s got rods in his legs, he\u2019s had multiple surgeries. It\u2019s not just one.\u00a0It doesn\u2019t always heal right and it breaks again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/othersport\/1843867\/Joe-Rogan-Conor-McGregor-UFC-comeback-warning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyson Fury praises Tom Aspinall after winning UFC heavyweight title Joe Rogan has warned UFC fans that Conor McGregor won&#8217;t be the same fighter as the former featherweight and lightweight champion plans a comeback.\u00a0 McGregor is preparing for a return to the sport\u00a0after a two-year hiatus having broken his leg back in 2021, with Rogan [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298864,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
