Conor McGregor posts first pictures of the nasty injury that postponed his UFC 303 clash with Michael Chandler as the Irishman hits back at Chael Sonnen’s claims he had entered rehab

Conor McGregor has responded to those who doubted the injury that forced him to withdraw from his fight with Michael Chandler by posting photos of his broken toe.

McGregor also posted on Instagram with a lengthy caption explaining the situation.

“Man we were so damn super ready for this fight it’s absolutely heartbreaking to have,” he wrote. I want that new Bugatti, the way I went, to justify getting it now without financing these fights.

“We had a lapse in concentration and were doing a workout without wearing full protective gear, and I knocked the toe off the elbow and broke the toe clean,” he wrote.

‘It just needs a few weeks, that’s all. I couldn’t justify to my team, or fans, that I was hindered from taking the walk again. That walk has been seen. This next walk must and will be 100 percent

The fans deserve it and we are getting close. A slight loss of concentration and discomfort due to an injury were noted.’
