Overview
- McGregor confirmed on social media in early August that he underwent surgery for a damaged ACL and meniscus and described the operation as a success.
- A viral clip shared on X shows McGregor on crutches struggling to grab a MAC Energy can tied to a drone, dropping one crutch and then using the other to pull the can closer before retrieving it.
- Fans and commentators reacted with jokes and safety warnings, with several users warning the stunt risked further injury to his other knee.
- Reports note the delivery could have been promotional but the drone stunt has not been confirmed as an official MAC Energy campaign.
- The episode comes as MAC Energy, launched in April and sold from July, becomes a focus for McGregor’s post-fight publicity while his ACL/meniscus recovery is expected to keep him out of competition for months and shape future promotional choices.
