Dominick Cruz has a positive view on Conor McGregor’s recovery from injury
MMA analyst Dominick Cruz has given his thoughts on Conor McGregor’s potential recovery from his recent knee injury.
At UFC 329, Conor McGregor suffered a nasty knee injury that will likely keep him out of action for quite some time. Some even feel like it is the final nail in the coffin of his career, especially when you consider that he recently turned 38 years old.
McGregor has been able to come back from injuries in the past, but after everything he’s been through, it’s going to be a really tall order for him to make the walk to the cage again before finally riding off into the sunset.
Dominick Cruz, who knows a thing or two about picking up injuries, had the following to say when discussing McGregor’s chances of a successful return.
Cruz’s view on McGregor’s injury
“I have nothing but positive energy to put toward him in his healing,” Cruz said on “The Ariel Helwani Show.” “An ACL, meniscus tear is what I heard it is, and I knew in my gut it was an ACL. You just don’t know to the extent. Sometimes you can tear the ACL and everything else, but he just tore a meniscus and ACL, which is very repairable.
“The good news is because it’s an ACL and meniscus – meniscus, that doesn’t stop you. If it was MCL, he’d be stuck for a little while, like frozen for I think two to three months before you can even start bending the leg. He should be able to start moving that leg right away, which will really quicken the healing process for him.”
