\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> middleweight champion Sean
\nStrickland<\/a> doesn\u2019t think Conor
\nMcGregor<\/a> was injured going into
\nUFC 329<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nHolloway<\/a> at UFC 329 on Saturday ended in anticlimactic fashion.
\n\u201cNotorious\u201d blew his right knee with the first kick he attempted,
\nleading to a stoppage loss hardly over a minute into the first
\nround. Strickland has now weighed in on the Irishman\u2019s injury.<\/p>\nSean Strickland questions Conor McGregor\u2019s knee injury after
\nUFC 329 loss<\/h2>\n
\nwhether McGregor\u2019s injury could have been triggered by steroid use.
\nHe claims to have seen several steroid users\u2019 bodies get fragile
\nwith time.<\/p>\n
\nsteroids for too long their bodies become so fragile,\u201d Strickland
\nwrote on X. \u201cIm not saying thats why but…. it does weaken
\neverything\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\nalready injured going into the fight. Notably, the broadcast
\npointed out that he winced and slightly stumbled while removing his
\nshoes before entering the Octagon. However, Strickland believes
\n\u201cNotorious\u201d wouldn\u2019t have started with a kick if he was already
\ninjured.<\/p>\n
\ninjury to make it through the fight,\u201d he wrote in another post,
\nbefore adding, \u201cNo. He wouldn’t of sent a kick like that if he was
\nhurt. I know from experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHowever, the former two-division champion was off the UFC\u2019s testing
\npool while he was recovering from his leg injury suffered in his
\ntrilogy loss against Dustin
\nPoirier<\/a> in 2021. There were also issues with McGregor\u2019s drug
\ntesting protocol when he was expected to return in 2023-24. His
\ndrug testing reportedly played a major role in the UFC\u2019s split with
\nits former anti-doping partner, USADA, in 2024.<\/p>\n\n
\nhomie I have that has done steroids for too long their bodies
\nbecome so fragile…<\/p>\n
