UFC 329 live results: Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway 2 updates, round-by-round scoring, highlights
Conor McGregor's highly anticipated return to the UFC ended in a 69-second TKO loss to Max Holloway after McGregor suffered a knee injury. The fight, which took place at UFC 329, resulted in a disappointing outcome for the record-breaking event.
Why it matters
The injury and quick loss represent a significant setback for one of MMA's biggest stars and raise questions about the future of his fighting career.
Conor McGregor famously suffered a blown-out knee 13 years ago in his first UFC meeting against Max Holloway. More than a decade later, history repeated itself in the most anticlimactic way possible at UFC 329. McGregor's much-hyped MMA return after five years away ended in disappointment on Saturday in Las Vegas, as the former two-division champion suffered what appeared to be another blown-out knee in the opening seconds of his first fight since 2021. The official result was a Holloway victory in just 69 seconds. "Let's give it up for Conor McGregor, guys," Holloway said afterward to a booing T-Mobile Arena. "What an absolute animal. When we were in here, I was trying to call the fight [off], and he kept asking to fight on. But you guys are lucky because there's going to be a Holloway vs. McGregor 3 now. Let's get this f***ing money, boys."
