Conor
McGregor has taken the first step toward a successful recovery
and Octagon return, undergoing surgery on his injured knee.
The former two-division
Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder recently revealed
that he successfully underwent surgery to repair the knee damage he
sustained at
UFC 329 in his rematch against Max
Holloway.
McGregor expects to begin recovery after suffering a torn ACL
and meniscus against Max Holloway
McGregor damaged his ACL and meniscus with the first kick he threw
against Holloway. The Irishman repeatedly fell to the canvas while
throwing strikes, prompting a referee stoppage just 69 seconds into
the bout. “Notorious” has taken to social media to update fans on
his injury.
“Surgery went excellent!” McGregor wrote on his Instagram Stories.
“I am confident!”
Notably, McGregor suffered the same injury to his other knee during
his first bout against Holloway in 2013. He took nearly a year to
return to action after that setback. He foresees a similar recovery
timetable before the final bout of his UFC contract, targeting
International Fight Week 2027 for his Octagon return.
