Conor McGregor exits UFC 329 after suffering injury in opening seconds

Conor McGregor exited T-Mobile Arena barefoot and shirtless following a significant leg injury in his fight against Max Holloway at UFC 329 on July 12, 2026. The bout ended abruptly within 69 seconds due to the injury, reportedly affecting his right knee. McGregor's earlier layoff was due to a left leg fracture sustained in 2021. The outcome of this latest injury leaves his future unclear, particularly as he has one bout remaining on his UFC contract, with discussions of a potential fight planned for April.
