The former two-division Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder recently revealed that he successfully underwent surgery to repair the knee damage he sustained at UFC 329 in his rematch against Max Holloway.
McGregor expects to begin recovery after suffering a torn ACL and meniscus against Max Holloway
McGregor damaged his ACL and meniscus with the first kick he threw against Holloway. The Irishman repeatedly fell to the canvas while throwing strikes, prompting a referee stoppage just 69 seconds into the bout. “Notorious” has taken to social media to update fans on his injury.
“Surgery went excellent!” McGregor wrote on his Instagram Stories. “I am confident!”
Notably, McGregor suffered the same injury to his other knee during his first bout against Holloway in 2013. He took nearly a year to return to action after that setback. He foresees a similar recovery timetable before the final bout of his UFC contract, targeting International Fight Week 2027 for his Octagon return.
