Joe Rogan questions Conor McGregor for choosing Max Holloway return bout

Joe Rogan voiced criticism regarding Conor McGregor’s decision to face Max Holloway in his return to the UFC. McGregor had been inactive for five years before agreeing to the headliner at UFC 329. The match ended 69 seconds after the opening bell when McGregor sustained a torn ACL and meniscus in his right leg during a kicking attempt. Rogan noted the challenge of facing a high-cardio opponent like Holloway after a prolonged absence from the sport. McGregor had been linked to other potential opponents, including Michael Chandler, in the years leading up to this comeback attempt. The injury rendered the highly anticipated return event an anticlimactic conclusion for viewers.
