So, Conor McGregor, everybody was waiting for this fight year of him not fighting. Oh my God, Conor's gonna fight Holloway. And you know what everybody was looking forward? This, this side. Because Holloway was like, bam, bam, bam, bam, going back and forth. And then next thing you know, we're sitting there and everybody's up.
Argentina games going on while this is going on. Shit, which one should we watch? We're watching the fight on the phone and we're watching the game on TV because the game is more important than the fight. And then all of a sudden, boom, five seconds, it's over. What?
What happened there? And then the speculation started. Four days ago, he went and saw a doctor with his leg, and we can't show that clip, by the way. We cannot show that clip, no. That's the one right there. No, no, you have it right there where he's walking into...

**Vinny** (0:46)
Is that, this is Hollywood fix.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:49)
Conor McGregor was walking into Newport four days before, can you check with AI to see...

**Vinny** (0:54)
Pain management clinic.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:55)
Do me a favor and check to see, can you go on the bottom of it and see if this is true?

**Vinny** (1:00)
A bottom of the tree.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:02)
Typically people will do it, but if you want to do it your way.

**Vinny** (1:04)
It looks pretty real.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:05)
Okay, so please clarify, verify claims. Okay, so some people said, is there already community note? In this video Conor appears normal with no visible limb. Reports confirm his leg injury occurred during the opening minute of the fight. So he looks fine. By the way, anybody would go there right before fight as well. It's not like he is limping. To me, he looks normal. A lot of people said he looked bad here. Now, pre-fight, he was standing there. He was kind of, you know, having a hard time standing on one of the legs. But then while he was practicing, he was kicking. So it's not like he wasn't kicking and throwing kicks in the back, you know, just preparing for the fight.
And then all right, they go a little bit lower. And I don't know if we can show that or not. That's the part where, you know, you'll notice.

**Vinny** (1:45)
Yeah, he won't put any weight on that.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:46)
Yeah, he won't put any weight on the right one. So that's when people are like, well, we knew. And then fight starts and then MGK, which I don't know if you guys know the beef with MGK, and that's the shattering of the leg.

**Vinny** (1:58)
No, no, no, that's not it. That's not it.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:59)
Is there another one?

**Vinny** (2:00)
No.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:01)
Because I saw a picture of it. That was not the one. Why are you teasing us with stuff like this?

**Vinny** (2:05)
It looks like somebody put a shotgun. That's a joke.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:08)
I see it. You went a little bit higher. I saw it for a split second, what it was. That was a big joke. Yeah. So anyways, so that happens. And, you know, a lot of people come out and they knew he had to get in the ring to get paid $30 million.
He doesn't step foot in there, he doesn't get his $30. He has to get in there to get his $30 million. So the world was looking forward to it. MGK, who had issues in the past with Eminem, and which by the way, he made a video responding to Eminem and then Eminem responded back. And I think it was over from there. But here's MGK at Conor. Go ahead.

**Machine Gun Kelly** (2:43)
I'm aware I did a post yesterday and I should probably apologize for absolutely nothing, homie. Fuck this dude. That's how beef works. We don't like each other. Everyone's saying, Oh, you commented on his age. He's only one year older than you about his knees. Hey, guess what? We don't age the same. My knees are awesome.
Oh, you wouldn't say it to his face. I already did. That's why a picture exists of this little leprechaun punching up and missing me and me not flinching. Where the fuck is the rest of the footage where we toss this little guy like a piece of dirty draws across the red carpet? That's why all the footage starts with him far away. Buddy, you look like a drunk, ugly extra in a Sherlock Holmes movie. What in the 1934 am I looking at? Fix your face. Holy shit. Oh, that's me. Why are you kicking him while he's down? Dude, fuck this guy when he's down, up, sideways, while I'm peeing.
