Conor McGregor has compared his injury from UFC 329 to an earlier setback against Max Holloway. He said he expects to return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship next year.
McGregor stated that the injury involves the ACL and meniscus, mirroring his first UFC meeting with Holloway but affecting the opposite leg.
He noted that he returned to competition within nine months after the 2013 injury to face Diego Brandao. The fighter highlighted advancements in regenerative medicine and improved training methods as factors that could aid his recovery.
The comments came in an update posted after the event. McGregor remains focused on a swift return to action.
