Was für ein Drama in der UFC. Conor McGregor (37) verliert nach 69 Sekunden.
Conor McGregors UFC-Rückkehr endet nach Knieverletzung schon in Runde eins.

Overview

  • The main event at UFC 329 ended after roughly 69 seconds on July 12 when Conor McGregor landed a jumping kick, his right knee gave out on landing, and referee Mike Beltran stopped the fight for a TKO win for Max Holloway.
  • McGregor left the Octagon without a post-fight interview, was seen going to a hospital, and later posted on X denying he entered the fight injured while saying he is at a very dark point.
  • A pre-fight video showing McGregor appearing unsteady on his right knee circulated after the bout and prompted fan claims he may have been hurt before the fight, a claim McGregor has rejected.
  • Ringside experts and early reports said the injury looks serious and could require a lengthy recovery, and the loss is McGregor’s third straight since his 2021 leg break.
  • Reports that UFC 329 generated a record gate of about €22 million mean the abrupt finish carries heightened commercial and reputational consequences for McGregor and the promotion.
