Conor McGregor’s manager says McGregor did not have a knee injury prior to his shortened UFC 329 fight against Max Holloway. According to the manager’s statement posted on social media, McGregor enters the bout without any previous knee problem. During the fight, McGregor’s first UFC appearance in about five years lasts only 1:09. The bout ends early after McGregor sustains a knee injury while attempting an opening roundhouse kick, leading to the fight being cut short. Reporting across outlets frames the manager’s remarks as a direct response to questions or speculation about McGregor’s fitness leading into the bout. The sources agree on the timing and outcome: Holloway’s opponent lasts just over a minute, and the injury is tied to an action in the opening moments rather than an established issue before the fight began.
