Conor McGregor suffered a horrific injury at UFC 264 in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier. The Irishman broke his ankle at the end of the first round, which resulted in the referee awarding the fight to Poirier (TKO due to a doctor stoppage).

Following McGregor’s ankle break, his old boxing rival, Floyd Mayweather mocked at him with an edited picture showing ‘The Irishman’ seated on a couch with his left ankle completely distorted.
Mr. Money also captioned it:
“Y’all got it twisted! I like how his shoes fit. Now, do the stanky leg.”

McGregor, on the other hand, mocked at Mayweather’s payout. He replied with a couple of laughing emojis to denote that $35,000 was nothing.
