, 37, appeared to injure his right knee after landing awkwardly a flying left kick in the opening seconds of the stanza.

Replays of the Irishman seconds before he entered the cage, however, sparked unsubstantiated claims online that McGregor was compromised going into the bout.

The theory was put to White in the aftermath of the injury.

And the supremo didn’t hesitate to reveal his thoughts on it.

He said: “We were talking about the guy over here earlier, asking about there being a pre-injury.

“Just on my accounts, the face-off that day is at 80 million views, right?

“So if there was a pre-existing injury, somebody would have noticed it.

“‘He was limping, put his shoes on.’ He ran right at him.

“I don’t think there was [an injury]. “Anything is possible, but he sure didn’t look like it.

And for 80 million just on my accounts, you know, that number’s got to be massive, and nobody noticed anything. So there you go.”

Defeat to Holloway was McGregor’s THIRD in a row and has extended his winless run to over SIX YEARS.

He’s yet to break his silence on the loss, which has sparked fresh calls for him to retire.
