Joe Rogan shares theory on how Conor McGregor broke his ankle at UFC 264 YouTube: JRE ClipsUFC commentator Joe Rogan revealed his theory on how Conor McGregor broke his ankle while fighting Dustin Poirier. During the Joe Rogan Experience podcast episode, the comedian explained how the injury might have happened before the fight even began. The trilogy fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier on July 10 came to a shocking conclusion after McGregor broke his foot at the very end of Round 1. Joe Rogan weighed in on the surprising moment during the July 14 JRE show. According to the stand-up comedian, the Irish fighter\u2019s injury was not a result of a leg check. The Spotify podcast host instead theorized that the break could have happened on numerous occasions, and was the result of sustained damage before the contest. Joe Rogan explains how he thinks Conor McGregor broke his ankle While interviewing neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, Rogan reacted to Conor McGregor\u2019s shocking leg injury during UFC 264. The podcast host explained that the star\u2019s coach, John Kavanagh, revealed that the fighter had sustained damage to the leg while training for his fight against Dustin Poirier. \u201cOne of the things that happened in training camp was they think [Conor\u2019s leg] probably cracked in training. And he got it scanned, and there might have been something there but it was hard to tell if it was some sort of hairline fracture. They did their best to try to stay healthy until they could get into the fight,\u201d he said. Rogan then pointed out that Australian kickboxer John Wayne Parr might have found the moment McGregor\u2019s leg broke during the fight before sharing his own theory. \u201cIt looked like [Conor\u2019s] shin was compromised on one of the leg kicks. Not the one Dustin checked. It was probably damaged more than once. He throws this kick, and if you watch Conor\u2019s shin, it kind of buckles there,\u201d the UFC commentator exclaimed while watching a clip of the moment. The JRE host added that McGregor then damaged his leg a second time with another kick: \u201cHe then throws this front kick. And as he throws it, it hits the elbow, and bam. Now he\u2019s standing on the fracture. He puts it behind him. And then he throws the punch, and when he goes to punch he picks the foot off the ground. Then it just gives out completely. It folds over. It snapped above the ankle.\u201d He also shared his theory in an Instagram post where he uploaded a video clip of the fight. \u201cThis is it. You can see where it breaks,\u201d he wrote. Although Rogan later came to believe that he had hurt his leg in numerous spots after John Wayne Parr shared his take on the injury. View this post on Instagram Conor McGregor\u2019s coach, John Kavanagh, was critical of Joe Rogan for interviewing the fighter only moments after his leg had snapped at UFC 264. The trainer said, \u201cLet\u2019s say I was pretty miffed at that idea of shoving a microphone in someone\u2019s face at that stage.\u201d While the Spotify host has yet to address the criticism, he continued to share his analysis of how the Irish fighter sustained his injury. McGregor updated fans on July 11, stating that he was feeling \u201ctremendous\u201d after a successful surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
