Conor McGregor's UFC 329 Knee Injury Sparks Boxing Talk
Conor McGregor suffered a severe knee injury 67 seconds into his UFC 329 bout against Max Holloway in Las Vegas, prompting the referee to stop the fight. Dan Hooker said the injury could be a turning point, suggesting McGregor switch to boxing where "the boxers out there are getting $100 million" and noting it places less stress on joints.
Online personality Jake Paul posted a viral Instagram video mocking the injury, captioning it “Recap for those who didn’t watch.” The clip quickly amassed over 150,000 likes, while fans on social media ridiculed McGregor’s brief performance. McGregor’s next medical evaluation is scheduled within six weeks.
The incident has reignited speculation about McGregor’s future, with discussions of a possible move to Zuffa Boxing and high‑payoff match‑ups.
