Conor McGregor is continuous together with his campaign that his UFC 329 fight should\u2019ve been called a no contest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Conor McGregor\u2018s highly anticipated return at UFC 329 resulted in disaster when he suffered a fight-ending knee injury within the opening seconds.<\/p>\n

The Irishman immediately received criticism from fans who claimed that he went into his clash against Max Holloway with a pre-existing injury.<\/p>\n

Despite that, he has since provided several updates on the extent of his injury, claiming that he was saved from something \u2018much worse\u2019.<\/p>\n

McGregor continues call for UFC 329 fight to be modified to no contest<\/h2>\n

Almost immediately after his loss, the 38-year-old called for his clash against \u2018Blessed\u2019 to be modified from a TKO loss to a no contest.<\/p>\n

And now several weeks faraway from his devastating injury, the previous double champion has continued his campaign to get the fight modified to a no contest, now blaming the \u2018dry ice\u2019 for making the Octagon floor wet.<\/p>\n

McGregor is predicted to undergo surgery for his torn ACL and MCL injury, nevertheless, he shared a video recently of him already starting on his recovery.<\/p>\n

UFC boss Dana White is expecting his cash-cow to be out for a minimum of a yr, and he isn\u2019t willing to speak about any potential fights for the 38-year-old at this point.<\/p>\n

With that, McGregor has revealed that he’s targeting International Fight Week in 2027 for his final ever UFC fight, presuming his recovery goes as planned.<\/p>\n

And he’s hoping that the fight shall be a trilogy against Holloway, shutting down calls for him to finally fight Michael Chandler as an alternative.<\/p>\n
