​There’s a tinfoil hat available in the MMA conspiracy community about Conor McGregor’s failed comeback.And while Dustin Poirier isn’t sure he wants to put it all the way on, he admitted to longtime boxing analyst Teddy Atlas that something – or even plenty of somethings – was off about McGregor (22-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC) in his quick injury-driven TKO loss to Max Holloway (28-9 MMA, 24-9 UFC) in the UFC 329 main event.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMcGregor was making his return after five years away – time off that started when he broke his leg in a trilogy fight against Poirier, who is 2-1 against him with two finishes. Holloway was upwards of a 3-1 betting favorite in the fight, so by and large, McGregor wasn’t expected to win. Additionally, public sentiment about the Irishman has waned in a major way in recent years thanks to his legal issues, led by him being found liable for the rape of Nikita Hand in 2018. He maintains his innocence and appealed the ruling, but was denied by Ireland’s High Court.After he appeared to blow out his knee throwing a leaping opening kick against Holloway, he tried to continue – sort of. But the fight was stopped after 69 seconds and a few Holloway punches, which were academic since McGregor’s leg was compromised and he wasn’t showing signs that he was willing to work through the injury.The conspiracy theorists have suggested McGregor came into the fight with an injury – and perhaps threw the kick as a way to essentially sacrifice himself to Holloway for a quick exit – and easy payday without taking many serious punches.Atlas tried to get Poirier on board with the conspiracy, but he’s not quite there. Instead, he thinks McGregor’s five years off, filled the types of caught-on-camera things rich celebrities often do, stripped the athlete away and left merely someone hungry for headlines. (In full disclosure, Poirier is trying to mend his own public reputation these days after an airport arrest in Atlanta for public drunkenness caught on multiple videos.)AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”When you have a built-in safety net of the money you’ve made and the career you’ve had, there’s had to be a point throughout this five years when he’s planning this comeback that he looks in the mirror and asks himself, ‘What the hell am I doing? Why am I doing this?'” Poirier told said on “The Fight” with Atlas. “He’s a smart guy. He had to be honest with himself at some point in the last five years, or at some point in this training camp, and said, ‘What am I doing?'”And I believe the answer to that is he’s addicted to the limelight. He’s addicted to people talking about him. He’s addicted to being in headlines. I don’t know if he’s addicted to the fight itself anymore.”McGregor reportedly has one fight left on a restructured UFC deal, and posted on social media in the wake of his latest injury that he intends to rehab, train and fight out his deal.But he has one win in the past 9.5 years, and it was t
