Conor McGregor has demanded that his UFC 329 defeat to Max Holloway be overturned to a no contest after he suffered a knee injury just 69 seconds into the fight. The Irishman returned to the Octagon for the first time in five years last weekend, but his comeback ended abruptly when he went down with a knee injury, prompting a technical knockout loss.
McGregor's Social Media Demand
Taking to social media, McGregor provided an update on his condition while making his demand. "1. I will have the results of the scan on my leg tomorrow. 2. The fight should be a no contest and all bets returned," he wrote. However, his request is highly unlikely to be granted, as his previous defeat to Dustin Poirier in 2021, where he broke his leg, was also recorded as a TKO.
Contract and Future Plans
McGregor has only one fight left on his UFC deal, which is contracted to take place by April, provided he is fit enough. Earlier, he shared a lengthy post on social media, stating: "Surgery. Prehab. Return to martial arts practice. Go again. Final fight of the contract. Please God! My faith is unconditional and I am thankful I get to prove it! My lifestyle changes are permanent and not just until. I am thankful I get to prove it!"
He continued: "I am in Sin City and remain completely devoid of all sin. I will not open that door nor crack its seal! I am already back to collecting wins! In Jesus name I pray! Church was intense today, my heart is heavy but through Christ my mind is STRONG! I am so grateful to see my family fall more in love with God each day!"
McGregor added: "I am a child of God. I am a friend of God. God makes a way for me where there seems to be no way. I am not a victim of my circumstances, I overcome them. God is at work in me to will and to work his good pleasure! My youth is being renewed like the eagles! In Jesus I am thoroughly loved, cherished, adored. I walk in divine health. I live under supernatural protection. All things work out for my good! All things are possible for me because I am a believer! I trust in You Lord! Show me Your way. Thank You God."
