Conor McGregor's UFC 329 injury sparks retirement talk

Conor McGregor's long-awaited return to the octagon ended in disaster Saturday night at UFC 329 when an injury forced the stoppage of his main event against Max Holloway in Las Vegas.

The abrupt finish has ignited speculation about whether McGregor will attempt another comeback, according to MMA Fighting, which hosted a live discussion of the event's fallout on its Between the Links show. Host Mike Heck and analyst Jed Meshew asked whether fans would believe in another McGregor run if he chooses to continue.

The co-main event provided a contrast to the main card letdown, with Paddy Pimblett earning a quick submission victory. Dricus du Plessis faces Kamaru Usman this weekend at UFC Oklahoma City, while Arman Tsarukyan takes on Colby Covington at RAF 11.

PFL heads to Austin and Ben Askren makes his return in what shapes up as a packed slate across multiple promotions. The show panel fielded viewer questions about standout moments from UFC 329 and the busy schedule ahead.
