Conor McGregor is finally telling fans about the injury that forced him to pull out of his comeback fight against Michael Chandler on June 29 at UFC 303.

And … it’s a broken toe.

“We had a lapse in concentration and engaged in a training session without wearing the full protective gear and I hit the toe off the elbow and broke the toe clean,” 35-year-old McGregor wrote on social media.

The fight was called off just over 3 weeks before the men were set to scrap.

So, how long will Conor be out? Doesn’t sound like very long, according to the man himself.

“It needs a few weeks, that’s it.”

The injury makes a lot of sense. The fight was up in the air for days — ever since the Dublin press event was canceled without any reason being given — with a ton of speculation swirling as to whether the scrap would happen.

Conor was spotted out and about in the days following the injury … and he didn’t appear to be hindered by the ailment all that much — but as he said in his statement, he wasn’t about to fight if he wasn’t 100%.

Conor also had words for Chael Sonnen– who suggested it was actually rehab, not a busted-up body — saying, “Chael shut your pie hole, hoe. You tap from ground and pound.”

But don’t worry, fight fans … Conor said he’ll be good as new in a few weeks.
