MCGREGOR TO UNDERGO SURGERY AFTER 69-SECOND UFC RETURN

Conor McGregor will undergo surgery following a leg injury sustained during his return bout against Max Holloway at UFC 329 in Las Vegas on Saturday. The fight ended in the first round after 69 seconds of competition. McGregor stated that he plans to fight again in UFC despite the premature conclusion to his comeback.

McGregor described his recovery plan as involving surgery, prehab work, and a return to martial arts practice. The injury forced the early termination of the bout, which marked his return to competition. McGregor has publicly committed to continuing his career in the organisation following the setback.

The Irishman's statement confirms his intention to pursue further UFC competition once his rehabilitation is complete. The specific timeline for his return remains unconfirmed. McGregor's next steps will depend on the outcome of the planned surgical procedure and subsequent recovery period.
