Conor McGregor’s five-year return to the octagon ended the way it did on Saturday night in UFC 329 against Max Holloway. Joe Rogan said it was a ‘crazy’ move that cost him. ‘He just tried a crazy move. He tried a jumping roundhouse kick,’ Rogan said during the UFC broadcast after the main event ended.

Injury Details

McGregor’s kick attempt clearly hurt him, as he immediately grabbed his knee after Holloway evaded the strike. McGregor tried to keep fighting, but referee Mike Beltran called the fight after he tried another kick and clearly couldn’t land properly. ‘He blew his ACL out with the very first move that he did,’ Rogan suggested. ‘It sucks, but it’s just, you don’t do that.’

After speaking with doctors, UFC president Dana White said McGregor tore his ACL. Scans on McGregor’s knee will need to confirm the diagnosis. Daniel Cormier, the ex-MMA fighter-turned-broadcaster, added that McGregor’s long absence from the sport could’ve contributed to the injury.
