LAS VEGAS -- Conor McGregor confirmed he suffered a torn right ACL in his shortened UFC 329 fight against Max Holloway.
McGregor said he also suffered meniscus damage in the fight on July 11 that lasted 1:09, comparing it to an injury he suffered in the opposite leg against Holloway in 2013.
McGregor's return to the octagon for the first time in five years came to an abrupt end when he landed awkwardly trying to land a kick in the opening seconds against Holloway. The 38-year-old tried to continue, but the fight was called when he fell to the canvas twice more.
He had surgery last week and said he is walking without crutches. He is hopeful of returning to the octagon in 2027.
OKC part of 3-team trade
Oklahoma City is trading starting forward and defensive standout Lu Dort to Atlanta as part of a three-team deal that also has the Hawks sending former No. 1 overall draft pick Zaccharie Risacher to Dallas, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press on Sunday.
Atlanta also will receive Ryan Nembhard from Dallas and the Thunder will be getting three heavily protected second-round draft picks, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal has yet to receive the necessary approvals from the NBA.
The trade allows the Thunder to shed the salary needed to get below the second apron, gives the Hawks another top defender in Dort and gives the Mavericks a third No. 1 overall pick -- the most currently on one roster in the NBA.
Dort averaged 11.6 points over his first seven seasons, all with the Thunder. Risacher -- a runner-up for rookie of the year in 2024-25 -- averaged 11.1 points in two seasons with Atlanta.
