Overview
- Speaking on the JRE MMA Show, Rogan said that if he were McGregor’s friend he would have told him, “You cannot fight,” before the third Dustin Poirier bout.
- Rogan claimed McGregor’s camp knew of a hairline fracture in the shin based on MRIs conducted before UFC 264 in Las Vegas.
- He described the 2021 break as unusually severe, saying it did not occur via a typical shin-to-knee clash, which he believes signaled how compromised the leg was.
- McGregor has not competed since suffering the leg break against Poirier and has continued to signal plans for a return, including talk of a ‘UFC White House’ event next June.
- The accounts of pre-existing injury and scans are presented as Rogan’s assertions on his show, with no independent medical confirmation cited in the reports.
