UFC 329: Conor McGregor injury sums up disappointing end to his chance at redemption - CBS Sports

UFC 329 delivered a swift and injury-driven end to Conor McGregor’s return attempt, underscoring how quickly his comeback at T-Mobile Arena unraveled. McGregor, who turned 38 on Tuesday, entered Saturday’s welterweight rematch with Max Holloway with a 22-7 record and was caught early when he slipped on an ambitious running kick attempt in the opening seconds. He suffered an injured right knee and lost by TKO 69 seconds into the first round. UFC CEO and president Dana White described the setback as a suspected blown ACL, with post-fight discussion raising questions about whether the issue existed beforehand. The article contrasts this outcome with McGregor’s earlier UFC success and notes his later Octagon record of 1-4 over the past decade.
