McGregor: "I'm having stem cells injected into my leg right now."

Former UFC champion in two weight classes Conor McGregor said he is recovering from a broken leg with stem cell injections.

"Right now they are injecting stem cells into my leg. They took them from my back and put them in my leg. 20 mg of stem cells from my own back, from the bone marrow - straight into the fracture," said the Irishman in an interview with YouTube channel SevereMMA.

Recall that McGregor withdrew from the fight against Michael Chandler due to a fractured pinky toe. The fight was scheduled to take place on June 29 at UFC 303 in Las Vegas, USA.
