Conor McGregor is getting crushed by fellow UFC fighters after revealing his injury.
On Friday, McGregor announced that he had pulled out of his June 29th fight against Michael Chandler after breaking his toe during a sparring session.
“Man we were so f—-g super ready for this fight it is absolutely gut wrenching to take. I want that new Bugatti how I gone justify to myself getting that now without banking these fights. We had a lapse in concentration and engaged in a training session without wearing the full protective gear and I hit the toe off the elbow and broke the toe clean. It needs a few weeks that’s it. I couldn’t justify to my team, or fans, that I make the walk hindered again. That walk has been seen. This next walk has got to be, and it will be, 100% Conor McGregor. The fans deserve it and we are getting close. A slight lapse in concentration and a nuisance of an injury was picked up. That’s it. Take the lesson and move forward. I will get this back.”
McGregor posted a picture of his injury and it turns out that he broke his pinky toe.

Even Chael Sonnen, who had erroneously reported that McGregor was in rehab, mocked the Irish UFC superstar for sitting out with a broken toe.
“You can listen to my account which builds and helps Conor McGregor. Or you can listen to Conor’s account which makes him look like a little b–ch…
“He would prefer that you see him as a little b–ch who can’t fight because he’s got a sore toe.”
