McGregor Confirms Knee Was Healthy Pre-Injury, Eyes Return Bout

Conor McGregor stated on Sunday that his right knee was not an issue before he injured it with his opening kick in his mixed martial arts bout against Max Holloway, which marked the end of his five-year hiatus from the sport. Following his victory, Holloway humorously commented on McGregor's knee and indicated he's open to a rematch.
Conor McGregor has asserted that his right knee was in good condition leading up to his mixed martial arts contest with Max Holloway. The injury reportedly occurred on the very first kick thrown in the fight, which also served as McGregor's return to the octagon after a five-year absence.
Despite the setback, McGregor is already looking towards a future return. Max Holloway, who emerged victorious from the encounter, playfully remarked on the situation, suggesting he might have made McGregor 'weak in the knees.' Holloway also expressed his eagerness for a future rematch with McGregor, whenever the opportunity arises.
McGregor's immediate vow to return after a fight-ending injury on the first kick is a testament to his enduring fighting spirit, but the focus will inevitably shift to his recovery and whether he can recapture his elite form.
