The highly anticipated duel among mixed martial arts fans, between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway, ended sooner than expected. The fight, which took place at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, on Sunday (12/7/27), had to be stopped by the referee when the match had just entered its first minute.
According to the UFC 329 fight report, Max Holloway was declared the winner by TKO after the referee decided to stop the fight right at the 69th second. This decision was made following an incident that befell McGregor as he launched an attack.
The tragedy began when McGregor tried to deliver a second kick toward his opponent. The athlete misstepped on his right foot, causing him to collapse onto the canvas in pain. The medical team immediately entered the arena to provide first aid to the athlete's knee.
This result prematurely concluded the main event of UFC 329. As of this reporting, there has been no further official statement from the medical team regarding the severity of the injury sustained by the Irish star fighter.
