Conor is a master of mind games, possibly even the best but this injury took a mental toll on the former double champ, he recalled the whole experience, and defined the moments that troubled him during his recovery, “I left my son, I was jumping and 360 flips and then the next time he sees me I’m in this seat and I can’t walk and that was kind of playing on me a little bit,” McGregor stated

He claimed, “But then as the weeks have gone by and recovery, I’m getting better and stronger and my son and my children are seeing it… He can see the work I’ve put in and he can see the rewards and I know that’s going to rub off well on him. He’s going to be able to see his father put the work in and you rise back to your feet.”
