Conor McGregor Undergoes Successful Knee Surgery After UFC 329 Injury

Conor McGregor recently had surgery to repair a knee injury sustained during his UFC 329 fight against Max Holloway. The injury occurred just 66 seconds into the match when McGregor landed awkwardly after attempting a jumping roundhouse kick.

The former two-division champion confirmed on social media that the surgery was successful and expressed confidence in his recovery. McGregor is facing a recovery period of 9 to 12 months due to a torn ACL, which typically sidelines fighters for an extended time.

This injury marks a challenging moment for McGregor, who was making his return to the octagon after a five-year hiatus following a leg injury in 2021. He has set his sights on returning during International Fight Week 2027 and has one fight left on his current UFC contract before considering future opportunities.
