@Michaelshackel As a professional athlete used to pain, very possible he didn’t notice a partial tear.

@DevonGleason Definitely could have been damaged prior to the fight
English
Conor McGregor’s ACL was already torn before he entered the octagon.
I’ve tore my ACL twice, and skipped surgery the second time…
Watch him as he wipes his feet. Left leg. Firm plant, good pressure, full range of motion with the wipe.
Then he plants his right leg. Knee buckles. He STOPS the swiping motion, and hinges his body forward from the instability.
Very obvious IMO. That wiping motion is awkward with a torn ACL…

@JoshOnAir Yes. Very obvious he has at least a partial tear prior.

UPDATE:
Conor McGregor visited the Newport Medical Plaza in California in the days prior to UFC 329.
Inside the building is Kramer Orthopedics and Dr Warren Kramer, a noted athletic knee specialist.
Conor was injured PRIOR to the fight, Dana White and the UFC knew, and allowed millions of sports bettors to be defrauded, generating tens of millions in profit for their sportsbook marketing & advertising partners…

I did patella graft. Tore playing basketball. Dunked on a guy, landed weird on his foot. I got returned to sport. Straight back to basketball after rigorous PT. Re tore it. Did not get surgery again. Keep up with the PT daily. 4-5 years later I can do almost everything I could before - just have to be careful and tap out when your muscles fatigue.
English
Did you do a graft on the first replacement? I had a quad graft on mine…I’m almost 2 years out of surgery and still not 100%. I’m still training it and rehab but I do not trust it and won’t even play softball without a brace. Hoops I think is never again. How’d you tear it the 2nd time?
English
@charlie66145009 Definitely off. He may not have known. I for sure knew each time I tore mine, but it was always a 100% tear. A partial tear might be harder to notice when you’re a professional athlete and used to pain
English
@DevonGleason Maybe he's left footed 🤷
I do actually see what you mean though, and it's not a stretch.
English
@BandfGap63757 You’re not wrong. Possible it was a partial tear prior and he didn’t know.
English
@DevonGleason That's stupid. If he was injured before. Then that's news to Conor himself. He would have never tried that silly karate kid crane kid from the opening bell if he knew he was injured. No way
English
@BandfGap63757 @DevonGleason 1 minute of acting for 15 million, Sign me up.
English
@Michaelshackel Yes, but with fresh legs I’m close to 100% too. Can cut. Pivot. Dunk. Sprint. As soon as my muscles get tired, different story. Could have just been a partial tear as well.
English
@DevonGleason There is video of him in the locker room.... His knee was fine during warm-up and looked strong
English
@HighValueMail @barstoolsports With fresh legs, I can still dunk. Throw a round house kick. Sprint 200m. Soon as they get tired, different story. Possible it was only a partial tear before the fight vs full tear.
English
@DevonGleason @barstoolsports How and why would he have done the crazy kick he did if his knee was that bad.
I’ve had some damaged ligaments in my knee, not torn, and a damaged meniscus. But i have also stumbled over trying to slip off a shoe that was maybe tighter than i expected, and it looked like this.

@AlexFinn I used to DEVOUR popular science magazine. It’s what made me invest in Tesla in 2011. Just nerding out, all positive showcases of future technology that really inspired you.
English
Something strange has happened over the last 10 years
When I was a kid, every tech publication (Wired, TechCrunch, Engadget) truly loved and celebrated technology
Over the last 10 years they all collectively decided they absolutely LOATHE technology.
Every article is a hit piece. Every entrepreneur and creative thinker is being destroyed. The greatest inventors of our lives are being villainized.
A lot of people are saying it’s because we live in a clickbait culture and hate is what drive clicks, but I don’t buy it
If hate drove clicks all of these publications would be thriving. Instead, they’re all failing, going bankrupt, laying people off and on top of that I literally can’t name a single person who reads any of them
There is a such a massive opportunity right now for anyone who’s willing to start a tech publication that actually celebrates and loves technology.
I’m DYING for a version of Wired that actually covers real tech with an optimistic lens, and I know many other are too.
Might have to f around and do this myself.

I gave WIRED the exclusive on our hands launch, and they wrote a really weird article about how we are sexualizing robotics… wired.com/story/the-1x-n… I felt pretty betrayed because that’s not what they told me they were writing about not is that what I’ve ever been about… actually I stand for quite the opposite… But I’ve come to find a lot of dishonesty and malice in the journalism community so I wasn’t surprised. This is what I sent the author… I’m only sharing this because I hope it encourages journalists to resist the click bait trap and tell truly awesome stories because I for one don’t believe journalism is dead— I think it’s just starting and just needs to evolve past the weird corner of the internet where data driven optimization turns everything into smooth brained shocking brain rot bullshit. The technological revolution we are going through should inspire a journalism renaissance. Not let it fall into further decay. There is so much brilliance at play in the world and the stories should be told! My note: “[author name redacted], it was nice talking to you, but I wanted to let you know that I didn’t enjoy your article at all. I understand the need to be inflammatory because that seems to be the only thing that gets clicks these days but that doesnt mean you shouldn’t recognize when something special is in front of you. I trusted our PR team in saying we should offer you the exclusive on what is one of the most important technological developments in the history of Mankind and I deeply regret it. Good luck with the rest of your writing career. -Dar Sleeper”

@AlecLace I’ve got a torn ACL. I can still play basketball, cut, sprint…but it’s short lived. Muscles get a little fatigued and stability disappears.
English
@TheNotoriousMMA @Cernovich Torn ACLs suck. My two cents - don’t get the surgery unless you’re planning on getting back in the ring. Rehab it and you’ll bounce back in 6-9 months just as strong.
English
My head gasket is gone. Destroyed. I had no injury / injuries going into the fight. I was throwing kicks, planted and jumping, all throughout camp as well as backstage before the fight. This came out of nowhere. I am beyond dark here. I can only describe it as hell.
English
@HighValueMail @barstoolsports Do you have a torn ACL? I’ve torn mine twice. Still have a torn ACL. This happens to me weekly taking off my shoes. Same buckle then side angle to get the shoe off lol
English
@barstoolsports He just lost balance slipping off his shoe, doesn’t look hurt.
English
@JustinBaunFAFO @barstoolsports @TheNotoriousMMA For real thought - I could feel every step he took in my torn knee 😂 has cycling been the best rehab for you? Anything else? Lol
English
@barstoolsports Just a scratch @TheNotoriousMMA you’ll be back! Just don’t try snowboarding this winter 😂 I’m 4 weeks into getting my body bsck to ride again this winter… ACLs are a bitch had way to many of those pop in my day. Lots of biking you’ll be fine!
English
@barstoolsports His ACL was torn before he walked into the ring…just look the moment he steps into the octagon

Sent him flying! As a former professional bison whisperer (shout out @CuRalphie)…this guy clearly wasn’t paying attention to the signs of distress from this bull.
Distance was respectful…until the bull started showing signs to back off. Tail up. Snorts. Pawing the ground. All v obvious.

A tourist was tossed in the air by a bull bison in Yellowstone National Park. Pretty wild how quickly things escalated and how much ground the bull bison covers after it finished wallowing in the recreational area.

Like watching his knee buckle makes my knee hurt. It’s like knee telepathy…

@muheediva01 Honestly those little moments in life can sometimes be where we learn to appreciate life the most. Sitting on a boat fishing, not catching anything all day long - those are the best moments. Reading a book on the bus or at the laundry mat can be fun. All about perspective.
English
Interesting take. Most divorces are initiated by women. Most men stop trying to court their wives when they lose access to sex (tbh even before that - men are idiots). That compounds and eventually leaves women feeling unloved, which further snowballs until they pull the plug. After having a kid, can definitely see the toll it takes on your body and why women would be nervous to commit to a partner that they’d perceive could or would leave them.
English
I just learned up to 84% of women lose sexual function after menopause without intervention. All of this is related to the fertility crisis because I see a lot of women not wanting to commit to a man who has a high chance of ditching them after they've given him her life/ body, and surely almost nobody realizes that not treating menopause must be a huge reason marriages fail later in life. Interesting stuff.
