What was said
"I was expecting at least a one-round war. We're assuming blown ACL. The doctors think the same thing too."
Conor McGregor's highly anticipated return after five years ended abruptly when his right knee buckled throwing a kick against Max Holloway. The fight was stopped at 1:09 of the first round, with McGregor unable to continue. UFC President Dana White confirmed doctors suspect a torn ACL, though Dr. Brian Sutterer believes it's more likely a meniscus injury. The $26.4 million gate became the highest in UFC history, but McGregor left the arena without speaking to media, visibly emotional and limping.
