Max
Holloway hopes Conor
McGregor is “all good” after the former two-division
Ultimate Fighting Championship champion had to limp out of the
Octagon following a leg injury at
UFC 329.

While Holloway won the bout, his celebration was subdued because of
McGregor’s injury, largely suspected to be an ACL-related issue.
“Blessed” feels for his Irish counterpart and wished him the best
after their brief and anticlimactic clash.

Max Holloway reacts to Conor McGregor’s UFC 329 injury

The main event at UFC 329 lasted just over a minute as McGregor’s
return ended on a disappointing note. Over five years after his
last Octagon outing, the UFC legend suffered a major injury in the
opening sequence of the fight. He struggled to stand upright and
repeatedly fell, leading to a referee stoppage. Holloway was all
class in the aftermath, wishing McGregor a successful recovery.

Holloway hopes Conor McGregor makes a full recovery

“I mean, it is what it is, right?” Holloway said. “What can I say?
I had him weak in the knees, I guess,” the former UFC featherweight
champion said in a post-fight interview. “You know, all jokes
aside, as just not a fighter, as a human, I really hope he’s all
good, man. Hope that recovery will come well.”

Islam Makhachev becomes Max Holloway’s next target

Holloway called for a trilogy bout against McGregor soon after the
fight ended. However, given that the former two-division champion
is set for another stint on the sidelines, the Hawaiian is open to
staying at welterweight, setting his sights on UFC welterweight
champion Islam
Makhachev.

“If I beat Islam [Makhachev], in Justin [Gaethje’s] words, I’m the
155 champ,” he said at the post-fight presser.
