Overview
- Conor McGregor suffered a right‑knee injury about 69 seconds into his UFC 329 rematch with Max Holloway on Saturday and is now awaiting MRI results and surgical repair.
- McGregor says he plans to rehabilitate and wants the third fight with Holloway to be the final bout on his current UFC contract if medical clearance allows it.
- Jon Jones publicly praised McGregor’s response, confirmed he remains in the UFC drug‑testing pool and said he is open to a return under MMA rules while rejecting a boxing‑only bout with Oleksandr Usyk.
- Jake Paul, who broke his jaw in December 2025 and had two surgeries, says he is close to being cleared to spar and is negotiating comeback fights in both boxing and MMA, naming Terence Crawford and a possible rematch with Nate Diaz among targets.
- The outcomes will affect UFC scheduling, pay‑per‑view plans and matchmaking because athletic scans, recovery timelines and McGregor’s history of serious leg injuries will shape whether a promoted Holloway trilogy or other high‑profile returns are feasible.
