Conor McGregor is set to have an MRI this week following an injury to his right leg sustained during his fight against Max Holloway on July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. McGregor fell multiple times in the fight, which ended after just 69 seconds. Speculation surrounds potential tears in his anterior cruciate ligament or damage to the meniscus of his right knee. Recovery timelines are uncertain and could require lengthy rehabilitation, a daunting prospect for McGregor after a five-year absence from the Octagon. His return to fighting has already been delayed due to previous injuries and legal issues.
