Top Five MMA Rumors of the week and analysis: 25th September, 2016

5- Conor McGregor suffering from leg injury

Failed negotiations?

As mentioned earlier, the Conor McGregor vs. Eddie Alvarez fight is apparently not happening. Dana White mentioned that Conor is suffering from a leg injury which was keeping him away from the fight. But Conor’s camp came up with the suggestion that he is completely fit and training.

There were mentions of fighters witnessing Conor training on the internet as well and none of them talked about the leg injury that Dana pointed out.

This conflicting reports from both parties resulted into another rumor which said that the reasons why Alvarez vs. McGregor fight is not happening are failed negotiations. Either way, Dana White’s press conference on Tuesday will clear things up.
