Conor McGregor sustained a serious leg break to cast doubt on his future as he lost to lightweight rival Dustin Poirier via doctor's stoppage in round one at UFC 264 in Las Vegas.
The Irishman, 32, started aggressively by targeting Poirier with leg kicks, but the American quickly capitalized after seeming to hear McGregor's leg crack during one exchange.
Poirier, also 32, took his opponent to the ground, where he dominated before the fighters returned to their feet.
Both swung and missed and McGregor stepped back before his leg collapsed beneath him, sparking speculation he may have suffered a bone fracture.
McGregor somehow survived until the end of the round when the bout was stopped.
