McGregor vs Holloway 2 main event: CONFIRMED (scan-2026-07-12-0120) — Max Holloway def. Conor McGregor via TKO (injury) at 1:09 R1. McGregor launched a jump kick at the opening bell; his right knee buckled on landing. Referee Mike Beltran stopped the fight. Dana White: "Assuming blown ACL." Holloway in-ring: "There's going to be a Holloway vs. McGregor 3 now." INJURY UPDATE (scan-2026-07-12-0954): ACL vs meniscus debate active July 12.
