Conor McGregor just turned 38 and, apparently, wants a different kind of present. In the main event of UFC 329 , held last Saturday (11) in Las Vegas (USA), the Irish star made his return to MMA after five years away against Max Holloway , but suffered a knee injury in the very first strike he landed. Therefore, 'Notorious', unable to compete, suffered a technical knockout defeat, but disagreed with the result.
On his official Instagram account, McGregor, who has been frequently updating his health status, demanded that his loss to the Hawaiian in the rematch be overturned and declared a no-contest. This is because there was no real fight between the MMA legends.
It's worth noting that the fight was stopped by the referee in just over a minute, meaning neither fighter was superior to the other. In any case, despite 'Notorious's' intentions, it's unlikely the Nevada Athletic Commission will overturn his loss, as there was no irregularity in the octagon, just an unfortunate event.

"Some observations: 1 - I will have the results of the exams on my leg tomorrow. 2 - The fight should be a no contest and all bets refunded," wrote the MMA star.
