“Fourteen weeks before the fight I tore 80 percent of my ACL,” said McGregor during a fan Q&A in his hometown of Dublin, Ireland. “I could barely walk, I could barely kick.”

“I had a lot of experience coming back from that injury. I was aware of my body, I was aware of my balance. I had a good team around me. I trusted everyone that was there. That’s how I perform.

“So, once again, I had a lot of adversity to overcome,” McGregor continued. “But honestly, I went into that fight and I beat Chad on one leg. After going through that adversity I feel like I have gained three new legs.”
