JAKARTA - Conor McGregor's return to the octagon at UFC 329 at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas on Saturday night or Sunday morning WIB (12/7) only lasted 69 seconds. The legendary fighter from Ireland had to surrender TKO round 1 from his opponent from the US, Max Halloway, after suffering a right knee injury.
This is the first time McGregor has appeared again, after five years of absence. In his last appearance five years ago, a foot injury also forced him to surrender to Dustin Poirier's hands.
McGregor's leg injury began when the 37-year-old fighter kicked while jumping. His kick missed, and he landed on an improper support. The fight was eventually stopped after McGregor's leg was unable to hold his body properly, and he was limping.
Of course this is a heartbreaking result for a legendary fighter, who is trying to restore his big name in the world MMA arena. Not the glory that McGregor achieved, but rather the lowest point he got in his career as an MMA fighter.
McGregor, who was just playing after being injured and lost, without saying anything, is estimated to need a year to recover from his current injury. If he really wants to return to the octagon in a year, it will be too late because he is 38 years old.
McGregor's physique doesn't seem to be able to compete in a hard fight. This injury is a strong signal for the fighter nicknamed "Notorious" to retire, with no intention of fighting again.
