- Conor McGregor has offered a new theory for his recent injury at UFC 329, suggesting the Octagon mat was wet due to dry ice during his walkout, potentially causing him to slip.
- The Irishman's return to the Octagon on 11 July, his first fight in five years, ended in just over a minute with him suffering a torn ACL and meniscus against Max Holloway.
- McGregor is reiterating his demand for his TKO loss to Holloway to be overturned and declared a no-contest, despite there being no established precedent for such a decision.
- This latest injury marks McGregor's second consecutive first-round injury, following a broken leg sustained during his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
- McGregor is scheduled for surgery and plans a 'Last Dance' in 2027, with one fight remaining on his UFC contract.
