Key Points:
- Din Thomas believes Conor McGregor consciously chose to quit during his UFC 329 fight after tearing his ACL just 69 seconds into the bout against Max Holloway.
- McGregor, who previously tore his ACL in a 2013 fight with Holloway and fought through the injury, appeared to give up quickly this time, prompting criticism from Thomas.
- Thomas contrasted McGregor's reaction with other fighters like Carlos Ulberg, Thiago Santos, and Tom Aspinall, who continued fighting despite severe knee injuries.
- He argued that McGregor did not live up to his promises of a great comeback and did not make an effort to continue fighting after the injury.
- Thomas highlighted that McGregor was able to walk out of the octagon on his own, unlike Aspinall who needed assistance, suggesting McGregor's decision to stop was more about quitting than inability.
