Conor McGregor has two longshot suggestions after UFC 329 loss
Conor McGregor has requested that his recent UFC 329 loss to Max Holloway be declared a no contest due to a knee injury sustained during the fight. He also suggested that bettors should be refunded, though experts believe both requests are highly unlikely to be granted.
Why it matters
The story highlights the intersection of professional sports injury protocols and the betting industry's rigid stance on fight outcomes.
Conor McGregor is hoping for good news soon, but he also has a couple of wild ideas about how his UFC 329 rematch against Max Holloway should be handled.
McGregor injured himself by awkwardly landing on his right knee in the first action of the fight against Holloway and was unable to fight on, despite trying. The Irishman has already had his knee examined and is expecting scan results, which can be assumed to be an MRI, on Thursday, which will reveal the extent of the damage to his knee.
Wednesday evening, McGregor shared the latest update on Instagram, while also suggesting that the fight result against Holloway be overturned to a no contest, while also taking care of bettors who gambled and lost on the fight.
