Conor McGregor To Undergo Surgery, Says He Will Return For Final UFC Fight On His Contract
Conor McGregor returned to the octagon for the first time in five years on Saturday, taking on Max Holloway at UFC 329.
The return didn’t last long, as McGregor blew out his knee on the first strike, attempting a jumping switch kick that missed. McGregor planted on his right leg, which gave way. He tried to stand and move to continue to fight, but couldn’t properly balance himself and either fell or buckled with every attempted strike or movement.
McGregor was seen walking out of the arena on his own power.
On social media, McGregor said he will get surgery, rehab, and look to return for the final UFC fight on his contract.
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.
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!
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!
Surgery. Prehab. Return to martial arts practice. Go again. Final fight of the contract. Please God!
I trust in You Lord! Show me Your way. Thank You God
