Dana White Rejects McGregor Injury Theory After UFC 329 ACL Blowout at 37

Summary
White said McGregor likely tore his ACL in UFC 329’s main event and pushed back on claims the Irish star entered the fight already hurt.
Citing a 44 million-view faceoff, the weigh-in and pre-fight medical checks, White said someone would have spotted any limp or weakness before McGregor fought Max Holloway.
White was far less certain about McGregor’s future, saying fighters who start talking about retirement usually should retire, though he noted McGregor has not said that publicly.
A severe ACL injury could sideline McGregor for about a year, extending a five-year UFC hiatus for the 37-year-old, whose last two appearances both ended with first-round injuries.
