Conor McGregor After Surgery: ‘Comeback Season Starts Now’
McGregor said he is on the road to recovery after surgery, citing returns by Dominick Cruz, Georges St-Pierre and Tom Brady as motivation.
- Conor McGregor confirmed earlier this week that he successfully underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, following his UFC 329 headlining bout against Max Holloway last month in Las Vegas.
- McGregor suffered the injury just 69 seconds into his return bout at UFC 329, forcing a first-round TKO loss that marked the end of a five-year layoff.
- Writing on Instagram, McGregor shared: "Surgery done. The doubters can keep talking. Just the will to rise again," citing UFC Hall of Famers Dominick Cruz and Georges St-Pierre as key inspirations.
- Fans should not expect McGregor back in the Octagon until late summer or fall of 2027, when the fighter plans to complete the final bout on his current UFC contract.
- Now 38, McGregor will be 39 when he returns to action, presenting a recovery challenge unlike Cruz and St-Pierre, who successfully returned from ACL surgeries during their prime fighting years.
