Rafael dos Anjos Gets Revenge On Conor McGregor
UFC fans were all disappointed when it was announced Conor McGregor will not be making his epic comeback this month after all. Suspicions were growing that something could be wrong when the press conference was canceled earlier this month.
However, it wasn’t until this past week that Conor made the decision with the advice of the UFC and his physicians to pull out of the fight. McGregor went to Instagram to share an update after the announcement. He only said the injury needs more time to heal He vowed to be back and ready to fight as soon as possible. Conor also never shared exactly what or how he was injured.
There have been lots of people speaking out since the announcement and one of those is Rafael dos Anjos. In 2016, Conor was supposed to fight him at UFC 296. However, due to injury, Rafael was forced to back out.
At the time, Conor McGregor said, “Did you see it? It’s a bruise. Ice, ibuprofen. If I jumped under an x-ray, the doctor would slap me and say what are you doing kid? Get out of here. Stop this! If you show up, you fight, you’re in, congratulations. You did it.”
Now, after all these years, Rafael is getting his revenge. After hearing about the fight cancelation, he went to social media to mock Conor just as he’d done to him years before.
Rafael reposted Conor’s post about backing out of the fight and said, “It’s just a bruise. Take some ibuprofen.” Many fans replied laughing and telling him he’s waited a long time for that moment.
