Conor McGregor Believes His Loss To Max Holloway Should Be Overturned And Bets Should Be Refunded

After more than five years away from the octagon, Conor McGregor was supposed to be the star of the show at UFC 329 against Max Holloway.

Ultimately, McGregor did walk away with the headlines, but for all the wrong reasons, after injuring his knee attempting a kick just seconds into his fight with Holloway and losing via TKO.

Now, McGregor says that the fight should be overturned and ruled a “no contest,” and that all bets on the fight, most of which were on McGregor to win, should be returned.

Will The Nevada State Athletic Commission Overturn Conor McGregor’s Loss?

It’s easy to understand why McGregor wants the result overturned. Holloway didn’t exactly do anything to him to end the fight. McGregor had to stop fighting because he simply couldn’t stand on his right knee, which now needs surgery.

However, the chance of the result being overturned is somewhere between slim and none.

There are hundreds of similar instances in the past of fighters getting injured, none of which have been overturned.

The only times athletic commissions overturn results of fights are if one fighter tests positive for a banned substance or if there is suspicious gambling activity surrounding the fight.

Otherwise, the result is what the result is.

Now, is it a bit corny to see Holloway gloat as if he actually did something? Sure.

But hey, he wasn’t the one to go out and get injured in 69 seconds.
