For those saying it was Poireir's left (hidden a bit) elbow they were referring to, I can't see any way the angle of Dustin's arm in that position breaks a tibia. The forearm is nearly parallel to McGregors leg and I can't see how Dustin's forearm wouldnt have actually broke instead if that were the case. Either way, well never know for sure, this cumulative mechanism is just my opinion.
Thank you! That makes sense
That’s a proper analyzation I think and sums it up nicely. What I wonder is, if that specific spot was wearing down overtime, not only throughout the fight, but possibly in training. I’m not sure if a bone can accumulate damage little by little until it breaks due to the leaf that tipped over the full glass. (if you will) Somebody let me know if that’s a possibility and share your ideas as to what happened!
Please reply to almost Soon, Doc. You've piqued our interest and wonder. Thank you!
In other words Coach Kavanagh is cappin 🧢
I think it could have happened from the up kicks Conor was throwing or when Dustin was stacking Conor on his back and fell down into Conor's guard. At one point Dustin grabbed the same leg right above the ankle and kinda pulled/twisted it out the way for him to get in conors guard to throw some ground and pound. A few seconds later Conor stood up and then the break happened.
Leg kicks, the ultimate double edge sword.
There are very few who could throw leg kicks without a setup. Connor is not one of them.
Calf kicks mitigate getting checked with a knee
@i Play Sometimes why tf do you clowns do this stupid crap?
He didn’t break it with a leg kick shut up
Double edged swords, the ultimate leg breaker.
The UFC alone has kept this man busy. A lot of crazy injuries happening lately 😬

@@matthewpundamiera95 thanks😊
Thank you for your years of studies to understand these things and be out there in the field helping people. Thank you and take care sir. Wish you a successful career in the medical field as you continue to work on your craft. 🙏
He’s been training a lot of leg kicks during his camp, so I imagine wear and tear was a big contributing factor to him breaking his leg. I would imagine the hard kicks he threw at Dustin destabilized it even more (no shin pads in a real bout), and him putting further weight on his leg was the beginning of the end for him. Great video analysis, definitely learned something from it.
That's what I think. You know Conor wanted to win and was training like a maniac. Probably inadvertently did some damage to his leg while training
Dr Brian posted this video before
Conor McGregor even broke his leg.
😂You win this comment section!
😂
Dude the guy is so fast with these uploads
Then the man must a had a premonition about it cause he said This is No McGregor's own X ray I think u got it wrong mate
@@polygamous1 r/woosh
Dana should have Brian on the UFC broadcast - quality info!
Indeed mann he's so fast and up to date.
No, he has no idea what he is talking about fightingwise.
@@tocunha when did this doctor claim his strong suit was the technicality of fighting? He would be a cool addition to the UFC broadcast with medical analysis. There are guys like Stephan A smith who don’t know anything about fighting yet they find a seat on the broadcast so why not a professional doctor to break things down when there’s injuries?
@@southpaw1215 ma man 👊
@@southpaw1215 he never said that, but when you make a video analysing an injury that occurred in a fight where a guy threw several kicks and ask if some trauma has happened to the leg, then in the next video you claim that Dustin checked a kick when a check never happened, I wonder if you should be commenting about it at all.
In the comic books, supervillain Conor returns with a numb leg. He feels nuttin and can walk through all leg kicks. He vows to destroy Dustin Poirier once and for all.
And then gets his other leg broken lol
Hahahaha, good comics let's see what happens in the next one
Professional work done here. That's when you really see a dedicated man does his work, guy is not just a doctor but also does any sports channels job only quicker.
I had the same injury from soccer in high school, didn’t get a rod, just a plate and 10 screws. Took a long time mentally to be able to trust my leg. Mobility was never the same. Conor has the best rehab, nutrition, etc to get his body back, but I don’t think he’s gonna move the same as before. I could see him going the boxing route where it’s less likely to re injure it.
Even if he manages to get it back to normal again it'll take alot of time maybe like 1 or even 2 years? by then everything would be different in the division and moved on.
I think your wrong there's a fighter named mirko cro cop who literally had his whole leg twist the opposite around and he got revenge on his opponent I feel like conor can definitely come back with the right training
@@gambred498 exceptions dont make the rule, those are anomalies and rare.
Tony ferguson had a horrible injury before the Pettis came back from his own training
I had a weber C fracture, worst ankle break you can have, I now squat 160kg at a body weight of 59kg. My ankle is strong...just not good at running. I had a plate and 11 screws. I haven't had to kick anyone though haha

Can we give some credit to Brian for making videos like these that are based on facts and educated guesses.
Isn’t everything either a fact or a guess ?
@@Alroytt There's also non-educated guesses, BS facts, dump assumptions.
@@Alroytt Hot hard to find videos full of these on youtube
he's a legit doctor after all
I watched a after scene video and Connor said, "I was numb from how hard l was Kicking and l couldn't feel or control my step back anymore. "
McGregor makes me think of the Black Knight in Monty Python's The Holy Trail. "It's only a flesh wound!"
Lmfao how old are you 😂
What are you going to do bleed on me. Lol. I thought the same thing when I watched it.
Grail*, but yeah totally hahaha
They should have let the fight continue so Dustin could beat the words out of his mouth.
"We'll call it a draw!"
The UFC should have this doc ringside at every event so when things like this happen, he can give the analysis.
As quick as he is uploading we thought Dana kept him in a room at the Apex with a computer and a TV
Dana would try to under-pay him
I mean.. all the doctor could do would be to speculate. I think having it after or on a format like this is better bc the doc will probably be able to give a more accurate info
You're joking right
And then he would be on Dana's payroll and have to tow the company line? I much prefer his take as an independent operator, personally.
Everyone talking about the fast updates by Brian… but this man has also gotten a fresh cut too! Looking good king! Keep killing it and you’ll get your verification on Twitter lmao 👏🏻👏🏻
And my wife cuts my hair!! Haha. She does a super good job cause she knows I want to look my best on YT

Excellent video and content from a PM&R resident/fellow perspective. Just an FYI @ 4:08 incorrectly states rod inserted in fibula.
Can you please do a video on the O’Malley vs Moutinho fight, specifically, how Moutinho was able to sustain 230 significant strikes (177 of which were to the head)?
I can't believe that fight. I think Mourinho will have permanent damage from eating all those shots
O'malley can t punch his way out of a wet paper bag?
He's accurate and Moutinho had 0 head movement or foot work for that matter, just beacuse O'Malley has KO'd a couple of punch drunk guys, over the hill guys,and some newbies doesn t mean he's the KO artist the UFC/Dana make him out to be.
@@LaztstaNd I was thinking the same thing, his punched probably don't hurt very much lol
I'm much more impressed with Stipe taking so many Ngannou hits to brain. He has the world record for hardest punch.
Because O’Malley weighs under 150 pounds and is almost 6ft. He doesn’t really pack a punch as previous ko’s would have you believe. He has great timing and technique but lacks genuine power

Just wanted to say; mic quality is amazing👍🏻
6 weeks on a crutch and then back at it again? my leg was "broken" at the same spot surgically and put back together with screws and plates. that was 6 years ago and im still in pain every day. if someone would kick me in that leg i would probably die
Yea no way he is back doing anything after 6 weeks, my mate came off his scooter in thailand and broke 2 bones in his ankle 1 year before he was back in the gym again!
Yep. I broke an ankle and if I do go hard at it I can literally hear the bones grinding together.

@@RIVALContentJammerz go cry about it
If somebody brings out a video so quick, you can count on it that he is not including all the different points of view and informations. Rather just going for maximum views and sacrificing correctness bcs not wanting to wait
Brilliant explanation, good presentation. Everyone playing sports should watch this.
I agree with you about the cumulative thing. It's just weird how it happened with the first break so innocuous before he stepped back on the ankle. The leg must have been badly damaged prior to that like 70% fracture, then Conor finished it off with the torsion step and the final backwards step. I still think Poirier is right though in that the major incident happened during the check when Poirier pointed at his leg, although Conor threw a bunch of kicks after this. So one big hit did most of the damage then combined with the cumulative effects, led to a complete fracture at the end of the round
I really think it's worth investing in Dustin's opinion as a fighter can feel the difference between the impact of the strike and the follow through. Dustin clearly felt something different on one particular check, and claimed to hear a sound, otherwise he wouldn't take time to point at it during the fight in a period when Conor was on top. Interesting video Doc, as most of yours are!
Kinda looked like a ghost twisted Connor's leg, Dustin must have summoned some voodoo Louisiana spirits to help him out. :)
I put a spell on you, cause you're miiine

@@jakegallegos5585 not you being wrong and rude 💀
Nah, it's straight up karma. If you think Conor made all this fame and money and not have to pay back, you're kidding yourself. Same with Kobe. You make it to the top, you better as hell try to pay it back; Dustin knew that, that is why he's doing his best to run a charity and contribute to society
Me: no way I completely had a feeling this fight would end with a freak injury
Also me: I’ve thought that every fight since Chris Weidman 🤷♀️
I actually had a weird gut feeling the night Anderson broke his leg, for whatever reason I knew the fight was going to end controversially, I thought a cut though not him breaking his leg. It was weird af.
@HarambeLives23 happy? You’re happy that a stranger, that you clearly watch, broke his shin? That says _a lottttt_ about you
There’s a guy on Twitter that predicted it! 15 minutes into the Main Card, this guy tweeted that he had a feeling Conor was going to break his leg. Now *that’s* strange!!!

@@NeonAstralOfficial ??? What? Peaks of mmas can last years, look at usman, who’s been dominating everyone but Colby in their first fight since becoming champ
We need the overhead angle- great video as always. As an MD, I think 2:05 is where the leg breaks. Conor was vulnerable. He was trying to throw a hard straight kick at Dustin left thigh. To do so he is leaning far back with his trunk and snapping his left leg out there. But you can see Dustin rolls his right right knee to turn his pelvis away so Conor misses. This leaves his leg straight out and vulnerable. At that moment Dustin strikes with his elbow on the outside of Conors leg ( the fibula side) with a force that could snap a leg in this position. It may seem like a glancing blow from the angle we have because we don't see Conors body twist from the impact, but the force of his elbow is directed toward Conors lower leg and foot not body so that is the body part we need to see at impact. We might be able to make out some deflection if the lower leg were to fracture away from our camera angle, but this view is blocked by Dustin arm and body. An overhead view would clear this up. I hope the UFC has one and releases it.
Legend has it Dr Brian was one of the doctors who helped Conor
Lol no.
The guy you read about in the press release, dr Elatracche , is like the surgeon to the sports stars.
@@BrianSuttererMD Elattrache is a world renowned sports surgeon no doubt but he didnt fix the fracture. He was just there. Dr Milton Little is a hell of an orthopaedic trauma surgeon who actually fixed it. Regardless great video 👍
@i Play Sometimes Hey stop commenting this fucking song
@@micmeister25ify why are u crying
@@Will_walkingW yea, know way he's doing it
I do hope the nerves in his leg are okay, after my ACL surgery I’ve got a numb spot on my shin that gets severe nerve pain when it gets bumped or anything, hope that’s not the case with him!
He also had an acl surgery in 2014
That's the case with most ACL's. They often knick that nerve in surgery that leaves a part of the shin numb. Conor's broken leg is absolutely nothing like an ACL injury and surgery is completely different. They can't be compared.
Kneesovertoesguy!
Yes my son fights mma in China and sadly he broke his leg riding a motorcycle. He still fights but has a numbness.
@@lukeism2 coincidentally, he also tore that ACL during a fight with Holloway and still kept on fighting and managed to win it.
Rising M2 from Ohio here, love your videos! Huge MMA fan here as well!
My first time seeing Dr. S. He's cool, I like him. He's very listenable.
The way that the tibia just snapped on the twisting motion reminded me of the video you did on Deandre Baker's femur fracture a while back
In support of the cumulative damage theory I would refer viewers to the episode of UFC embedded in which McGregor can be seen icing his feet and lower leg in buckets during training camp.
Ok
Thanks doc
Pretty sure that's normal with condtioning.
@Nabaneet Sharmawow never thought of that
Yea I was thinking when he kept riding NO HANDS, then came out with that photo some thought were staph, remember that photo?
He absolutely had a spill and while that's just as embarrassing at least it makes more sense....
Thank you for the video.I find it hard to believe an elbow ever wins against the shin. The function of the shin is load bearing and the elbow is not. The olecranon process is a small ledge serving as a leverage enhancer for extension of the elbow and it is relatively easily damaged in comparison to a brute like the tibia. Assuming they did not screw up the fibula and its role in supporting the knee and ankle, I can only assume degradation and fighting capacity after such an injury is heavily psychological.
Champ are back Strongly & show him ....especially Dustin

Hi Brian, there is video of a kick just before the initial break that you can see where the bone got broken from. I have a tiktok video showing it. Don't know where the video is of it though elsewhere. I've not looked.
Also, Love the MX Master wireless mouse!
Connor yelling in the weigh in sounded like wario he was like “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
@@droiddevx03 he used to sound threatening when he did it, now it’s just funny.
The same sound he made when he broke his foot
"Imma gonna win."
Or what an Orc army is called #40k
I used to fight amateur. Standing from southpaw, I caught a guys front kick and kicked his right leg with my left. I made contact with the lower part of my shin to the outside of his lower right leg. My fibula snapped up closer up by the knee and my tibia was fine. The break didn't occur at the point of impact. Maybe this information might shed more light on the situation?
That's what I was thinking. I am sure this Dr is knowledge and extremely well educated, but calf kicks are a new phenomenon. Not enough data on them. They are executed so powerfully, many times right on bone. The force MAY not cause a break at the impact area, but may be transferred to the weakest link.
I think this is a great clue because when McGregor got up with approximately 10 seconds left in the round, he threw a kick to Dustins middle right thigh and the initial fracture could’ve happened there if his leg wrapped around Dustins leg. If you pause or slow down that kick you can see his leg wrap around the thigh and to me I saw a warping of Conors leg. Seconds after that, Conor torqued to throw that left straight and his ankle gave out.
glad u found something else ro do after getting whooped
Look up Gabriel Varga's video, he talks about how dangerous high calf kicks are
@@Jimmy-rd5ig i think this Dr. is not knowledgeable enough that he missed this common sense logic. I was thinking the same thing, why should they assume that it must be on the contact area. I'm not even a doctor yet i know that a break will happen at the weakest point on or near to the contact area.
Nice unbiased review of what happened. Great Job...
Great break down and theory👏, you earned a follower 👍
Watch the first leg kick, a distinct sound was made and the contact lines up with the twisting full fracture later.
The contact of the first “checked” kick is on Conors upper foot. Not around his ankle
@@fleshvehicle9140 that's all pretty close and all connected obviously. I'm no dr but seen one say similar things. Not unheard of to fracture/crack and think it was just a good check. Continue on and throughout fight gets worse until breaking point
And not the only kick to land on the knee
I just disagree, I think kicking something full force and even landing with the foot can cause that injury but like I said, not a dr. Can bring link to one though
the question i have is: supposing you just injured your ankle ligaments (eg this kick that was probably intended to connect with the shin). is it possible that when this rolls in a catastrophic inversion, is that total collapse of the supporting leg capable of fracturing the tibia?
@@cmiller2169 thats where its hard,the check cpuldve created a hairline fracture but it shouldve created one on the part where it hit,mcgregor hit poiriers knee with the top part of his foot not his shin nor ankle and thats where the real break occured,he checked with the top of his foot but broke his ankle/shin,makes no sense
Now hes gonna have Rod kicks.
Once they place rods they stay inside correct? I remember when Paul George broke his leg I assume he plays with arod on his leg?
It won't make his kicks stronger.
Rod and plate with screws
Like Romero with a fused neck 💪
@@crownlessking101 I'm curious of if it is as stable, more stable or less stable after getting rods put in, couldn't find anything about that
Dude, your MMA injury vids are GOLD. Thanks for doing it for the culture! 👍🏼😂
Hey doc one question, does one have to hit at a certain point to break at that point?
the injury is above the ancle, so the torching effect caused tearing of ligaments and joint instability
Torsional
Was waiting since yesterday for this lol
I did one last night as an initial reaction, thjs was follow up
Excellent explanation. However is it not a distal tib / fib fracrure from a closed lateral stress? Thats what it appeared to be in the vid. Your explanation appeared to indicate and medial tibial shaft fracture ? Could you clarify ? Thanks. Love your videos
So now that conor has a metal rod in his shin, does that give him an advantage kver other fighters where he can letterally kill someone with his leg?
Also i met a couole of guys with screws in their ankles just like the picture you showed and they all suffer from pain and can't excersise too well beciase of it, do you think that would affect conor's ability to train and fight?
Conor: “Live by the leg, die by the leg.”
When you're feeling tremendous post op you're flying high on painkillers!
EXACTLY!! Well said.
Hey Brian, thank you for the enlightening analysis. I have questions about cold laser therapy: Is cold laser therapy frequently used in sports to help athletes recover quicker? How deep can cold laser therapy effectively penetrate through tissues and yield its beneficial effect? Can one have too many or too long cold laser therapy sessions and cause other problems while trying to solve one? Have you ever heard about cold laser therapy being used to help improve a lazy or malfunctioning bladder?
even tho i hate those thumbnail faces..i love your content on mma so much. I wish there was enough i could watch it all day
Can you please do a video on Tom Brady playing 2020 season with torn MCL. I have no clue how the guy does it.
This needs major upvotes.
i think he broke his leg the moment he broke his leg.
I’ll take another look to be sure
Hey Doc 🥕 idk if you hear this enough but I appreciate the free insight, education & knowledge you keep dropping for us. 🙏🏻
Great video. Very odd injury.. Also unfortunate for any athlete to go through
On that front kick it did hit his tibia on Dustin's LEFT elbow on the ball. Watch his LEFT arm pop up when he kicks
You're correct.
That left arm hit Conors leg moments before it snapped, I agree that it should've be enough force but I feel like it's hard to deny that it had some effect
the left arm had nothing to do with it..conor had a scan a few weeks prior to the fight so something was obviously wronm with his leg from fight camp getting his kicks back
th-cam.com/video/KK7xB0XDbmw/w-d-xo.html
It's hard to deny that any impact on the leg from kicking had some effect to the fracture when you realise conor had a leg scan 2 weeks before the fight so obviously he's had a tiny fracture since fight camp that juts got more severe the more he kicked dustin in the fight
Conor's leg breaks so easily, a reminder how insanely tough Muay Thai fighters are. Their leg conditioning is off the charts.
look on instagram „mmasapien“ they uploaded a short video where you see it happen it was a kick that wasnt even shown in this video here
Thank you for the update sir
Hey I watched the video and I was really interested how the rod works?Why can’t they just use a cast?Im just curious I legit stay up just to watch your videos they really are interesting and makes you learn more about how these things can be repaired.
Watch the figjt again where he caught him with the foot. He absolutely hurt it there but it was likely a hairline fracture at that point. watch him step right afterwards the leg almost gives at that point which is why they ended up in the clinch with conor pulling guard.
Conor clinched because poirier stunned him bad
@@nicheaps8750 Not really, Conor was off-balance while Dustin was moving forward so he initiated the clinch.
You are too much talking in absolute terms my guy, as if you know every variable there is and have the answer. Notice the doctor talking in terms of probability? It's because that's the way with science, its possible yet highly unlikely that that kick did it.
@@GewoonGamings Like ability?? You sure you don’t mean probability?? or likelihood? Gotta love smart dudes who use big words yet have zero idea what they even mean. The eyes are the litmus did you even bother to watch the fight back to see exactly where I referenced? I trust my lying eyes more than words about Likeability, which is usually stated as Probability, or likelihood. Especially when I have Dustin stating he’s certain thats the moment he really believes it happened and took time to physically point it out during the fight. He felt the impact to the both of them and knew Conor not only took the worst of it but that it was something more than a decent check. That in culmination with the stumble in the aftermath and then the end result makes it a pretty logical conclusion. But hey maybe he walked in there with a fracture from training camp after all his foot is always a balloon and his calf a football right. 🙄
@@handstwister You are completely correct, I meant probability/likelihood, sometimes I do make a linguistic mistake, I am very sorry i'm not perfect in that regard yet I don't see why you should see that as a clear indicator that I have no idea of what I'm talking about. As for your point, referring to Dustin's opinion about the matter is not a strong case for Dustin being correct. Again as the doctor said it is not probable (not likeable ;) ) that the check (which was not even a proper check and the camera angle hid the point of impact, even your eyes can't see through Dustin's knee) was the thing that dit it. We just do not have all the info hence me saying that you speak too much in absolute terms. Yet given the fact that you would dispute my opinion due to me making a mistake in speech I am not sure you would reconcile, but I am open to what you want to say :).
3:30
Lol..........
The amount of guys who've gone into fights with injuries is incredible.
Michael Bisping fought 11 times with a fake eye.
Anything is possible.
But, since its Mcgregor, its probably just another excuse.
I broke my tib and fib in a motorcycle crash in 2013. It was an open/compound, spiral, high energy fracture. I have had pain issues in my left shin ever since. There is a rod still in there, but they took the plate off shortly after surgery due to infection.
I also have pain issues in my ankle due to the injury. I still ride motorcycles,do BJJ, handle a K9 etc but every morning I play pain roulette (deciding if my shin or ankle will hurt that day) since managing both at the same time would make me immobile for the day.
(I also had to get a shoe insert made for my left foot since I lost over 1/4 of an inch in leg length after the surgery.)
Finally a proper Analysis of what actually happened. Thank you.
That's what happens when you kick a diamond 💎
I guess if we kicked a 170lb diamond we’d def break our foot lol
McGregor is a rough diamond
@@kerrysupporter aka coal
you missed the part where it broke ..it was a kick to like poiriers hip,side whatever and you can actually see the bone brake at this moment
right? I was waiting for that kick
bro you can’t say this stuff with certainty. the simple fact is that you aren’t an expert on leg brakes and that no one knows why his leg broke. i’ve seen what you’re talking abt and it does look like maybe it did break or get hurt but stating this kind of stuff with certainty spreads a lot of misinformation and can become a problem. no hate man and you are absolutely not the only one doing this.
Can you do a boxer Prichard Colòn video , not sure if you’ve seen what happened to him, but I would love to see your analysis on it! Great videos man!
Awesome video... super informative.
Hi Brian, on the “Weighing In” podcast they were saying that Conor’s inactivity over the last years caused him to fracture his leg alluding to lack of calcification of the tissues from continuous training. Is this true or a Myth?
It wouldn't be calcification of tissues that would occur, but reinforcement of the bone. This is achieved through osteoblasts rebuilding and reinforcing bone after stress is put on them. This stress can be either micro-fractures in the bone from direct impact or stress from putting high weight on the bone. Direct impact training, as well as some other techniques, are usually called shin conditioning, which i assume is what they believe he has been slacking on. Weight training could be done to put stress on the tibia, through something like a wall-sit with weights on the quads, but is less common in MMA.
How many fighters return after a long inactivity period and don't have this kind of fractures ? How many of the fighters that had similar fractures had been inactive before getting it ? That makes no sense and its just one more excuse for Mcgregor. Dustin beat him, that is it.
@@claesboillot5138 In an attempt to condition the legs for the fight he was probably really hard on his legs during training which is probably what led to the break ironically.
@@rotorairgroup8409 thank you doctor
@@claesboillot5138 Similar with hand drummers’ hands. That bone density is vital for playing longevity. And really helps the tone of the note achieve a fuller sound.
On John Wayne Parr’s IG, he said it was when Conor kicked Poirier’s thigh, that was the kick that broke his leg. It shows a close up clip of the kick. It looks to be exactly what was the cause.
Damn nice catch. That definitely looks like it
@@rushipatel7399 More than the story of Conor kicking Dustin's elbow. It makes a little more sense. And visually it appears to be then.
@@spacemanpope1805 Yeah for sure. Good eye
Well presented .. . Thank u.
Great video💪🏿
There is a slow motion video I just watched that showed the finishing sequence. And when he throws that front kick, if you set the video on the highest resolution and slow it down to , quarter speed.. you can see that Conor kicks dustins left elbow so hard it literally flew up ,. With the exact spot that broke.. then a second or two later it's broke,.. it's bit the best view. But go watch it.. make sure you set the resolution and the speed .. it's irrefutable ... He fractures it with the kick. And the bad step broke it the rest of the way..
Yoooo... your absolutely right. You see the left arm go up! Crazy.
Good call dude
This actually makes more sense. It didn’t just break from him throwing a punch..
Can you post the link?
there's one kick to Dustin hip that might crack the shin tho
Doc I just watched Semi Pro then pull up to see the Flint Tropics here. Respect!
Dr. Brian can you speak about why leg breaks are seemingly so common in the UFC (2 major ones in the past few months) as opposed to Muay Thai for example where low kicks are probably thrown even more often ?
Thank God for doctors and surgeons. That could of been life threatening 100 years ago.
No, thank the doctors and the surgeons and science itself for the doctors and the surgeons, not God. 100 years ago it was life threatening because people only had God to rely on, and God by himself doesn't seem to do anything other than what would happen if there wasn't a God.

Hello Doctor, can you do a video on elbow injuries please? With some 3D animations showing what happens when there's chips of cartilage locking the joint. Thanks
Doc, it was recently revealed that Tom Brady played this past season with a torn mcl.
I even heard someone say a torn mcl doesn't need surgery because it heals itself.
You should do a video on this.
I never thought I would have to see 2 legs broken in the same year...
Karma is hot on the heels the UFC fighters.
Connor so rich he prolly sittin in that green goop tank from Starship Troopers where the robots regenerates his leg.
Nice reference bro
Lol we’re the only people that think so. It did come out like 25 years ago tho lol.
@@blakerunyon8523 Wow didn’t realize it was that long ago lol 😆
Thanks doctor, great review
Great take Dr.
It wasn’t a Doctor stoppage.
It was Brian stoppage. 😂
got the whole squad laughing
The way O'Malley moves he seems the next in line to break his lower leg .
Thanks for the post Dr.Brian :)
I was thinking the same
At @2:00 it looks like Pourier blocks the kick with his left elbow, you can see impact made his arm throw back a bit. Like you said this is more so accumulative damage and that looks like it lands on the elbow bone you mention when explaining the other elbow hitting. My 2 cents, great content.
Good job Brian. Thanks 👍
Conor has prided himself on fighting injured.
“My foot was a balloon”
Conor has prided himself on coming up with excuses after each loss.
@@BondJames-vz5wk it’s not a loss of it’s a broken leg bone like a chopstick!
@@konkyolife in other words he lost
@@sub_zero8495 Exactly. In other words, Conor lost by having a leg weaker than Dustin’s. It’s clear now he broke his shin bone hitting Dustin’s thigh at the very end you can see it. How Conor can consider that to be “not” a loss is beyond me.
@@konkyolife he probably needed that final payday cause he's trying to make a 4th fight by daying all that shit
Leg kicks - McGregor can’t take em, and can’t give them either.
🤦♂️🤣🤣
Hahahahhahaha
