Eagle-eyed fans fear Conor McGregor is injured after they spot nasty mark on elbow ahead of Dustin Poirier UFC trilogy
EAGLE-EYED Conor McGregor fans believe the star could be injured after spotting a nasty mark on his elbow.
The Irishman collides with Dustin Poirier for a third time at UFC 264 on July 10.
The pair first fought at UFC 178 when Notorious claimed victory via a first round knockout.
Diamond then took the honours in January at UFC 257 with a second round KO.
Their highly-anticipated rubber match is now just nine days away, but many worried fans believe that McGregor could be carrying an injury.
Those fears come after a photo of him cycling topless was shared online, and it appeared to show a mark on his left elbow.
That led to speculation, and it remains unclear whether it is just a nasty scrape or cut.
One fan commented: “It’s an elbow thrown to something, that’s what happens.”
Another said: “Hahaha there’s the excuse if he gets f***ed up again hahaha.”
A fellow supporter wrote: “He’s in training camp, could be friction burn from grappling on the mats, or from elbowing the heavy bag.”
As another simply said: “I’m worried.”
