Summary
Conor McGregor’s comeback fight ended in heartbreak just 60 seconds in—knee injury from a flying kick forced a stoppage against Max Holloway, despite no signs of trouble at weigh-ins. UFC President Dana White confirmed a blown ACL is the likely culprit, noting McGregor’s star power would’ve exposed any pre-existing issue. Holloway tried to alert the ref but McGregor pushed on, later expressing devastation on social media. The betting favored Holloway 3-1, and while McGregor’s five-year absence made him the underdog, the night delivered other fireworks: Paddy Pimblett’s quick win, Mario Bautista’s decision, King Green’s first-round KO, and Brandon Royval’s flyweight submission.
