Conor McGregor Loses to Max Holloway After Knee Injury, Stats, Prize Money & Highlights from UFC 329
Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- Max Holloway secured a first-round TKO victory over Conor McGregor at UFC 329, but the fight ended prematurely due to McGregor suffering a right knee injury while attempting a head kick.
- This fight marked Holloway’s debut at 170 pounds, a move motivated by the opportunity to face McGregor, though he is unlikely to stay long at welterweight.
- McGregor previously defeated Holloway over a decade ago, but this more recent injury could mean a lengthy recovery period for McGregor.
- Holloway may shift focus to other opponents, potentially returning to lightweight to face Justin Gaethje or waiting for the outcome of the Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry fight.
- Despite the injury, Holloway expressed interest in a trilogy fight with McGregor to even the score and capitalize on their rivalry, which currently stands at one win each.
