Summary
Conor McGregor posted a video update after surgery for the torn ACL suffered in his UFC 329 loss to Max Holloway, appearing in a large brace on his right knee and promising to fight again.
The 38-year-old said athletes including Tom Brady, Dominick Cruz and Georges St-Pierre inspired his comeback plan after they returned from ACL injuries to compete at a high level.
That pledge comes with questions over his path back: McGregor has lost his past 3 fights and 4 of his past 5, and UFC 329 was his first bout in 5 years.
The update follows surgery on injuries sustained in the July 11 fight, extending another rehabilitation stretch for the former featherweight and lightweight champion.
