It was an anti-climactic end to what was a highly anticipated fight between Max Holloway and Conor McGregor, with the story surrounding the emphatic return to action of the latter, and Robert Griffin III didn’t hold back in his assessment of the Irishman as the battle ended in round one itself.
McGregor appeared to hurt his knee within minutes of the start, and it led to Holloway winning without much fuss. And Griffin’s own experience with injuries appeared to give him confidence that this was a knee problem from Conor.
In fact, such was Griffin’s gripe with the bizarre ending, that he demanded fans get a refund for what transpired.
Robert Griffin III’s Unfortunate Knee Injury History
The specific knee injury that Robert Griffin III spoke about in his own career, took place back in 2013, when a promising career was suddenly cut short due to a right knee problem against the Seattle Seahawks. A torn ACL, LCL and meniscus stalled any forward momentum for Griffin, and sadly, injuries became all too common even after the 2013 incident.
While many will stop short of saying Conor McGregor’s career in the octagon might already be over, there is no doubt that Robert Griffin III’s troubled past leads well into a similar narrative of how injuries can indeed shorten careers destined for greatness.
