Dana White Shares Potential Return Timeline for Conor McGregor
Dana White said McGregor had ACL surgery and will miss about a year after tearing the ligament in his UFC 329 rematch with Max Holloway.
- Dana White confirmed that Conor McGregor will be sidelined for one year following knee surgery after sustaining a serious injury during his UFC 329 loss to Max Holloway in Las Vegas.
- The injury occurred seconds into the fight when McGregor tore his ACL, marking a difficult return for the 38-year-old fighter who had been away from the Octagon for five years.
- Performing weight-machine leg exercises, McGregor claims he can walk without aid, drawing on his prior return within nine months from a similar injury 13 years ago against Holloway.
- When asked about recent training footage on Sunday, White said, "Conor McGregor's out for a year," adding they had McGregor on FaceTime ringside during the event.
- Questions remain whether the 38-year-old will regain championship form upon return, particularly as McGregor has just one fight remaining on his UFC deal before becoming a free agent.
