UFC 329 ended on a sour note, with the Conor McGregor vs. Max Halloway main event ending in just 69 seconds. McGregor threw a leaping kick just seconds into the bout, which appeared to compromise his knee.
McGregor was never able to regain his footing, and referee Mike Beltran ultimately called an end to the fight.
It was a disappointing end to McGregor’s highly anticipated comeback attempt, and everyone is now searching for answers. How did it all go so wrong? Was McGregor injured before walking to the cage?

The latter question is gaining steam on social media after video shows McGregor appearing to favor his knee while taking off his shoes before entering the Octagon for his bout. The UFC shared video of the awkward moment during his pre-fight check online.
McGregor immediately left the Octagon after the fight and did not speak with Joe Rogan in the cage. He walked down the tunnel and left T-Mobile Arena shortly after without changing out of his fight gear.

We’ll have to see if UFC boss Dana White or McGregor come forward with any statements throughout the night or in the near future as questions will continue to be raised about the disappointing end to a great night of fights.
It also now raises the question: was this the last we have seen of Conor McGregor inside of the Octagon? Only time will tell, but for now, he will have to focus on healing from another leg injury.
