Thirteen minutes to go. 224 00:12:26,412 --> 00:12:29,373 [Conor grunts] 225 00:12:29,457 --> 00:12:32,793 [Owen] Sixteen minutes. Sixteen minutes gone. 226 00:12:39,049 --> 00:12:40,509 [groans] 227 00:12:42,511 --> 00:12:44,180 [Conor] On the ankle as well. 228 00:12:46,098 --> 00:12:48,684 A little sore on the shin. 229 00:12:49,643 --> 00:12:52,438 Throwing them and sometimes they lift and hit the knee, 230 00:12:52,521 --> 00:12:56,400 but it's all good. Couple of days or a week... 231 00:12:57,693 --> 00:12:59,945 of minding it, 232 00:13:00,029 --> 00:13:01,864 and I should be good to go again. 233 00:13:08,245 --> 00:13:11,832 One of the things that... unfortunate... Conor had to deal with 234 00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:14,668 was a lot of swelling around that ankle. 235 00:13:15,377 --> 00:13:18,005 We feared that it was a stress fracture. 236 00:13:19,381 --> 00:13:23,177 The X-rays done in Dubai came back that it was a deep bone bruise. 237 00:13:23,260 --> 00:13:28,057 So, we were trying to figure out, how do we get him through this camp, 238 00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:32,061 finish camp and get him to fight? Or do we have to push the fight back? 239 00:13:33,604 --> 00:13:35,773 It's not a decision that's taken lightly at all, 240 00:13:35,856 --> 00:13:38,234 particularly when Conor never tries to pull... 241 00:13:38,317 --> 00:13:41,111 He tries to avoid... He doesn't wanna talk about it. 242 00:13:41,195 --> 00:13:43,113 But at the end of the day, for us, 243 00:13:43,197 --> 00:13:47,493 we have to first make sure his health and safety is put above everything else. 244 00:13:48,786 --> 00:13:52,623 This happened right before he flew to LA. 245 00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:05,928 [Conor] My surgeon is the head doctor, so we came out to see him, 246 00:14:06,011 --> 00:14:07,429 to chat about the ankle. 247 00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:10,724 A couple of days' rest, naturally, after the last mesocycle. 248 00:14:10,808 --> 00:14:12,184 So I'm okay to do all this. 249 00:14:12,268 --> 00:14:15,145 Then I want to start pushing, getting back to training. 250 00:14:15,229 --> 00:14:18,357 I want to kick again, bounce again, spar again. 251 00:14:18,899 --> 00:14:22,319 If these are things I can't really do, there's gonna be an issue. 252 00:14:22,403 --> 00:14:25,990 I'm gonna see how it unfolds and make a decision what to do after that. 253 00:14:26,824 --> 00:14:29,577 I've been sparring a lot with no shin pads. 254 00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:32,204 Obviously, there's to be a trauma in the, in the... 255 00:14:32,288 --> 00:14:35,291 bunch of low kicks, the last time. I wanted to be sparring 256 00:14:35,374 --> 00:14:38,544 and training with no shin pads, so I can feel the exact force. 257 00:14:38,627 --> 00:14:41,505 So I threw a couple of kicks, I've thrown loads of kicks, 258 00:14:41,589 --> 00:14:44,216 one of them hit the knee with the shin, 259 00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:47,094 and the other one hit the knee with the ankles. Two separate kicks. 260 00:14:47,177 --> 00:14:49,513 So, is this part sore? 261 00:14:49,597 --> 00:14:51,015 Not when you press it, no. 262 00:14:51,098 --> 00:14:54,518 Your bone's bruised on this.

That's from kicking the knee? 278 00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:35,684 Yeah, and it's also from the added impact 279 00:15:35,768 --> 00:15:38,228 of what you're doing to train, the running too. 280 00:15:38,312 --> 00:15:43,317 I guess the real reason we came here was to get a time estimate 281 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,612 of what you think that this is going to take. 282 00:15:46,695 --> 00:15:49,782 [Audie] That, or figure out if we should push the fight back. 283 00:15:49,865 --> 00:15:52,701 [Dr. Neal] Yeah. It's gonna be, basically, based on his symptoms, 284 00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:54,703 not based on how you follow it like this. 285 00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:57,289 I think that you decrease the impact, 286 00:15:57,373 --> 00:16:00,709 let him go into the Octagon and do what he'd normally be doing 287 00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:03,379 at this point before a fight, and see how it responds. 288 00:16:03,462 --> 00:16:06,215 If it gets worse 289 00:16:06,298 --> 00:16:09,259 over the course of a week or so, 290 00:16:09,343 --> 00:16:10,970 then we gotta shut it down. 291 00:16:11,053 --> 00:16:13,639 When you're training, as soon as you make contact 292 00:16:13,722 --> 00:16:17,685 with that part of your ankle with somebody's shin or knee, 293 00:16:17,768 --> 00:16:19,770 if you hit it like that... 294 00:16:20,437 --> 00:16:22,272 anything hard...
