Dana White addresses Conor McGregor's injury during UFC 329 main event
Summary

Conor McGregor suffered an injury just seconds into the main event of UFC 329 on July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fight was waved off 1:09 into Round 1, disappointing fans and UFC officials. Dana White stated that doctors suspect a possible blown ACL, though he had not yet spoken to McGregor about the injury. The unusual circumstances surrounding the injury have led to speculation as to when it may have occurred, with viewers suggesting it could be linked to McGregor's initial flying kick attempt. The fight was anticipated due to McGregor's five-year layoff from the sport, and White declined to comment on future matchups following the abrupt ending.
