Gamblers are not happy with Conor McGregor.
On Saturday night, McGregor returned to the Octagon five years after breaking his leg in a fight against Dustin Poirier.

Fans who gambled on the fight are calling for the FBI to investigate McGregor for coming into the fight injured.
Tape very clearly showed Mcgregor was hurt during the walkout. There are going to be massive lawsuits and investigations involving this. I’m curious if Conor blew all his money and needed the check. It’s all so bizarre and sketchy.

McGregor went on to issue a statement saying that the injury came out of nowhere.
My head gasket is gone. Destroyed. I had no injury / injuries going into the fight. I was throwing kicks, planted and jumping, all throughout camp as well as backstage before the fight. This came out of nowhere. I am beyond dark here. I can only describe it as hell.
