“If I have to take it outside, let’s take it outside,” he added as he was interviewed while sat on the canvas with his ankle strapped in a protective case, before being taken out of the ring on a stretcher.
UFC president Dana White said after the fight that McGregor had broken “the lower tibia in his left shin”.
