Key Points:
- The author speculates that Conor McGregor sustained a knee injury before his recent fight but chose to compete to avoid financial loss and contractual issues with the UFC.
- They suggest McGregor's backstage training footage was staged to show he was fit, providing plausible deniability about the injury.
- The author points to McGregor nearly falling while removing his shoes pre-fight as a sign of the existing knee problem.
- They believe the initial kick McGregor threw was intentionally planned to appear as a mistake due to rust, masking the true cause—his pre-existing injury.
- The author questions if their theory is reasonable or if they are overthinking the situation.
