McGregor Pledges Comeback After Knee Injury at UFC 329

McGregor Pledges Comeback After Knee Injury at UFC 329

Conor McGregor’s long-awaited return to the Octagon came to a halt just 69 seconds into his rematch with Max Holloway when a knee injury forced him out of UFC 329. In a social media statement, McGregor revealed he will undergo surgery and rehabilitation and aims to honour one final fight on his current contract. He insisted his faith remains strong and vowed to “go again.” This setback follows his 2021 leg fracture and a broken toe that cancelled a 2024 bout. There is no timeline for his return, and upcoming surgery could delay his next appearance. Questions about a pre-existing injury were dismissed by both McGregor and head coach John Kavanagh, who confirmed the knee gave way on his very first kick.
