Overview
- The UFC 329 main event, which took place Saturday, ended after about 69 seconds when Conor McGregor landed awkwardly on a jumping kick and injured his right knee.
- McGregor has confirmed he will have surgery and has publicly said his final contracted fight should be a third match with Max Holloway.
- UFC president Dana White repeatedly said he will not entertain a trilogy now and will only discuss matchmaking after McGregor completes surgery and rehab.
- Outside figures have suggested McGregor may have entered the fight hurt and reporters have raised questions about his recovery history, claims McGregor and his coach deny.
- The abrupt finish cost fans and bettors a marquee comeback moment and leaves commercial plans and McGregor’s previously discussed April 2027 timeline uncertain until doctors provide a clear prognosis.
