Conor McGregor remains as outspoken as ever.
The “Notorious” took to Instagram on Wednesday to provide fans with an update on the heels of his TKO loss to Max Holloway at UFC 329 last Saturday.
McGregor revealed that the extent of the knee injury he suffered — moments into his main-event bout against Hollaway — would be revealed with scan results on Thursday.
The MMA star also made sure to express his disagreement with the fight being ruled a TKO loss for himself, which marked McGregor’s third consecutive defeat going back to 2021.
“The fight should be a no contest and all bets returned,” McGregor wrote.
The Irishman’s much-anticipated return to the octagon after a five-year hiatus was cut short when he appeared to injure his leg while attempting a flying kick — in the opening seconds of the fight — and landed awkwardly. McGregor was seen losing his footing during multiple exchanges with Holloway after that, and eventually, official Mike Beltran stopped the bout just 1:09 into the first round.
Despite McGregor’s claim that the bout should’ve been ruled a no-contest, there is no precedent to determine that outcome. The injury was sustained after the fight had officially begun, and with McGregor no longer able to continue, the ruling was deemed TKO (injury).
While there was some speculation that McGregor may have entered the bout with a pre-existing injury, he took to social media shortly after the loss to quell those rumours and express his disappointment with the outcome.
“My head gasket is gone. Destroyed. I had no injury/injuries going into the fight. I was throwing kicks, planted and jumping, all throughout camp as well as backstage before the fight. This came out of nowhere. I am beyond dark here. I can only describe it as hell,” McGregor wrote.
He has one fight remaining on his current UFC contract, and despite the loss and injury, he appears determined to finish the deal.
“Surgery. Prehab. Return to martial arts practice. Go again. Final fight of the contract. Please God!” McGregor wrote in an Instagram post. “The devil is literally staring at me right in front of my face here. I am not engaging … I will overcome this. I will not be deterred. I will return.”
