Conor McGregor has confirmed that he has undergone successful knee surgery as he begins his latest push to return to competition.
The 38-year-old UFC star revealed on X that the procedure repaired damage to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus, injuries he suffered during his July UFC 329 defeat to Max Holloway.
McGregor’s latest setback added to a difficult period in his career, but the former two-division UFC champion remains determined to make another comeback.
In his message, McGregor pointed to several sporting legends who overcame serious injuries before returning to the highest level. He referenced UFC stars Dominick Cruz and Georges St-Pierre, as well as NFL icon Tom Brady, as examples of athletes who showed resilience after suffering major setbacks.
McGregor stressed that there would be no shortcuts during his rehabilitation. The Irishman is expected to focus heavily on recovery and conditioning before considering a return to the Octagon.
The announcement marks the beginning of what McGregor described as his comeback season, with the former champion determined to overcome his recent struggles and prove that he can still compete at the highest level.
His recent run has been challenging, with injuries and defeats limiting his activity. However, McGregor’s latest message shows that he remains motivated despite mixed reactions from fans.
For now, the priority is rehabilitation. McGregor will have to complete the recovery process and regain full fitness before any potential return can be seriously considered.
The former UFC champion’s journey back will be closely watched as he attempts to turn another major setback into a fresh chapter in his career.
