Summary
69 seconds into his first UFC fight in five years, Conor McGregor said on Instagram, "We'll be back," after a knee injury forced a stoppage against Max Holloway at UFC 329.
The injury appeared to strike early as McGregor slipped while throwing kicks, then grabbed his right leg again before referee Mike Beltran halted the welterweight bout.
Dana White said he believed McGregor suffered a "blown ACL," while McGregor wrote on X that the injury "came out of nowhere" and left him in "hell."
The setback echoes McGregor's July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier, which also ended with a severe leg injury, and leaves him with just one win since 2020.
