Conor McGregor Steps Out Without Knee Brace 5 Weeks After ACL Surgery

Conor McGregor was seen leaving a Beverly Hills club on September 11 sporting crutches but no visible knee brace. This comes five weeks after his August 3 ACL and meniscus tear surgery during his UFC 329 rematch with Max Holloway. The injury ended McGregor's five-year comeback after 69 seconds of the opening round. Despite the setback, McGregor maintains that the injury won't end his career and targets a possible return to the Octagon next summer.
