Conor McGregor’s UFC 194 fight only lasted 13 seconds but it may keep him out of action for six-months.
It’s common for UFC athletes to find themselves on the medical suspension list after a fight and McGregor, along with many others, need to get cleared by a doctor before they can resume training. McGregor must pass x-ray test on his left wrist before he steps back into the gym. That wrist is connected to the left hand that floored former champion Jose Aldo with one punch.
All indications point toward Conor passing the exam and returning to the gym for a possible spring fight.
