Proof that Conor’s leg was already broken...

[PPVKing]

Conor is a warrior.

Wow.

 

[Hollywood Jack]

Poirer didnt check a single kick. And Canrods kicks were to the knee/thigh.

The 2nd leg kick that Conor threw, Poirier lifted his leg back and up, which caused Conor to kick short right on the hardest part of the knee, and DP immediately recognized it and pointed at it. It's semantics whether you want to call it a "check" or not, but the bottom line is that if DP hadn't seen the kick coming and reacted to it, it would have done some level of damage to his leg.

Instead, by effectively checking it, it caused Conor to kick short and to kick in a spot that was vulnerable for Conor instead of Dustin. And if you look at the last sequence where Conor's lower leg fractures, a leg that is not already damaged does not react like that. His leg couldn't support his weight because the damage was already done. It's quite similar to the O'Malley fight with Vera.

Not really seeing the proof it was already broken tbh

You can see the instability before the roll pretty clearly in the video.
Maybe it wasnt already fully broken before he planted on it, but it was obviously compromised for whatever reason.

This proves it shouldve been No Contest.

No it doesn't. That's not how no contests work. Never have, never will.

 

[nevernamed]

This proves it shouldve been No Contest.

so weidman and silva should have no contests for their broken legs too?

 

[Cipushka]

They called him Mr Glass

 

[HeffDoesWant]

This proves it shouldve been No Contest.

This comment proves you should shush.

 

[kahiljabroni]

Shit was cracked for sure prior to stepping...who really gives a shit how. Dude should retire imo

 

[BForrester]

This proves it shouldve been No Contest.

This proves you should quit posting comments about MMA.

There you go. Those who are saying that Dustin didn't do anything and Conor injured himself can give it a rest now. The doctors on youtube also said it's the accumulation of his kicks that started from the one that Dustin checked and pointed out. Good find TS.

naw you are wrong

 

[rearnakedchoke]

He wasn’t efficient with his calcium intake.

Getting kicked isn't doing something, it's still a freak injury.

It kinda pains me to believe that people can't see this for what it is. Good post..

Nothing, I repeat nothing that Dustin did caused this break.

You don't want to kick some parts of the knee though. That's how you break your foot.

 

[Ald0]

so weidman and silva should have no contests for their broken legs too?

Only when it’s Conor apparently

 

[The Elemental O]

Dr Brian is always there to explain.

He uploaded a follow up video

He blocked the kick. Blocking a kick is doing something

"Coach John Kavanaugh states that it was the teep kick that was blocked by Dustin’s elbow just before the nasty break we saw that initially fractured the leg."

Few additions. There are clips everywhere on here that show that sequence. It cannot be denied. Second, Dustin stated in the post fight conference that he did exactly that. There is zero argument as of this morning. Only trolls, or flat-earthers will argue from this point forward.
