Conor McGregor calls for his UFC 329 loss to be overturned after disastrous comeback

  • Conor McGregor made his first UFC appearance in five years at UFC 329 against Max Holloway, where he sustained an injury in the opening seconds of the fight.
  • The bout was stopped at the 69-second mark due to a TKO (technical knockout) resulting from a leg injury, which McGregor later clarified was not pre-existing.
  • Following the fight, McGregor called for the result to be overturned to a 'no contest' and for all bets placed on the fight to be returned, despite there being no precedent for such an action.
  • McGregor, who previously broke his leg in a 2021 fight, is awaiting scan results for his current injury and is scheduled to undergo surgery.
  • The fighter has one bout remaining on his UFC contract, leading to speculation about his future, including potential crossover boxing matches after a previous fight with Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
