Some fans think Conor McGregor had a lucky escape after watching the UFC Perth most important event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carlos Prates knocked out Jack Della Maddalena within the third round of a fight he dominated on Saturday.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Why fans think Conor McGregor dodged a bullet<\/h2>\n

Aaron Bronsteter was interested by the failed fight between Conor McGregor and Carlos Prates after UFC Perth. <\/p>\n

The MMA reporter asked his X followers: \u201cAre you able to imagine in the event that they had actually booked Prates vs McGregor?\u201d<\/p>\n

The consensus in his replies was that McGregor would\u2019ve gotten seriously hurt in that fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat will be a sanctioned execution, lol,\u201d one fan said. While one other added: \u201cIt could\u2019ve been a massacre.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, that\u2019d be a retirement fight for Conor lol,\u201d a 3rd fan added.<\/p>\n

\u201cConor would end with a broken leg, broken jaw, broken orbital, and broken ribs,\u201d another person commented. <\/p>\n

\u201cPrates would send him home in a body bag,\u201d one other X user tweeted. <\/p>\n

\u201cMcGregor would have taken a beating of a lifetime, man\u2026 something to make him invalid for the remainder of his life,\u201d a sixth fan predicted.<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor\u2019s comeback fight<\/h2>\n

Conor McGregor is predicted to return to the Octagon for the primary time in five years this summer. <\/p>\n

\u2018Notorious\u2019 is currently being heavily linked with the most important event spot at UFC 329 on July 11. <\/p>\n

Max Holloway is rumored to be the opponent being discussed for McGregor\u2019s highly anticipated return to MMA.<\/p>\n

They previously met as rising featherweight prospects in 2013. McGregor survived tearing his ACL to select up a unanimous decision win on that occasion, but he\u2019ll be a large underdog in the event that they run it back 13 years later. <\/p>\n

News about McGregor\u2019s next fight is predicted to drop following UFC 328 in Latest Jersey next week.<\/p>\n
