McGregor’s answer revealed an injury may have come into play at UFC 229 late last year.
I broke my foot 3 weeks out from the bout.

I still marched forward however, and also landed the final blows of the night.
On his blood brother.
I am happy with how the contest went and the lessons learned.
In my fighting and more importantly my preparation.
Time will reveal all. https://t.co/VNxbrfk6qx

The former two-weight UFC champion wasn’t done tweeting. “The Notorious’s” next tweet replied to a Twitter user looking to take a dig at the Irishman.
Very happy with my defense.

A precarious position with the head pinned against the fence. Every movement must be calculated as any over exertion leaves the guard open and could lead to a finishing blow. None of which came close.
Zero facial damage taken and I won the next round. https://t.co/1bcPWNQfRy
