If Conor McGregor Was A Horse They’d Have To Shoot Him
Conor McGregor came up lame literally one second into Saturday’s comeback bout with Max Holloway. To open a fight that the UFC claimed drew the biggest live gate in mixed martial arts history, McGregor rushed out of his corner and threw a flying kick with his left leg. The kick fell short of Holloway’s head by at least a foot, and then McGregor had a landing worthy of the agony of defeat” guy, dropping to the cage floor in a heap without being touched. Then McGregor immediately got up and went at Holloway again with another left-leg kick that missed badly, and again fell down at the speed of gravity. In his first fight in five years, McGregor had knocked himself down twice in five seconds. Holloway threw a few punches at his supine opponent, but clearly sensed something was off. He backed away and let McGregor rise. And McGregor quickly fell down again. Everybody watching the bizarre spectacle, including Holloway and referee Mike Beltran, seemed puzzled about how to handle these unforeseen and shocking events.
