Conor McGregor is asking the UFC to change the result of his UFC 329 comeback fight against Max Holloway. Multiple reports say McGregor suffered a serious knee injury within seconds of returning to the Octagon after a five-year absence. According to accounts of the bout, he could not continue shortly after the fight began and the contest was stopped. The official outcome has been recorded as a technical knockout in favor of Holloway, as McGregor was unable to proceed. McGregor’s position is that the result should be altered to a no contest rather than a defeat. UFC and Dana White have not indicated publicly whether they will accept McGregor’s request, and any change would depend on the promotion’s review process and relevant rules for injuries and stoppages. The reports agree on the basic timeline of the injury and the current ruling, but they focus on McGregor’s demand and the likelihood of the UFC responding.
