MMA analyst Paul Felder has given his thoughts on Conor McGregor potentially making another comeback from injury.
As we know, Conor McGregor is once again on the shelf after injuring his knee in his rematch with Max Holloway. The bout barely lasted a minute before it was stopped, and now, the Irishman is back on the road to recovery – after just getting off of it.
Some are celebrating the downfall of McGregor, whereas others see this as an upsetting way for a legend of the mixed martial arts game to go out.
In a recent podcast, Paul Felder weighed in on what he believes is next for McGregor.
Felder’s view on McGregor’s comeback
“I do agree that with the advancements in medicine and things that you can do to support ligaments, and your knee, you can be back quick, but you’re also way older than you were the first time you went through this surgery,” Felder said on the “Believe You Me” podcast. “You didn’t have a broken shin that you had already recovered from in the other leg.
“So I think yeah, he’ll be back relatively quick, but I just don’t know what your legs are going to be like after yet another big setback. I know he’s trying to keep mentally strong. He keeps posting that he’s not putting any substances in his body and I’m glad to hear that – good for him. But I just don’t know if that’s enough to get you back within a year, ready to go when you’ve had five years to get ready for this one, and your body still didn’t seem to hold up to it.”
