Conor McGregor‘s UFC 329 return ended abruptly after he suffered torn ACL and meniscus injuries against Max Holloway. McGregor has since updated fans about his condition on social media. He has now confirmed his surgery was successful while beginning his recovery. However, he remains active in promoting his newly released energy drink.

Outside the Octagon, McGregor has built a major business portfolio alongside his fighting career. His ventures include Proper No. Twelve and an ownership stake in BKFC. He has now entered another market with MAC Energy, his new energy drink brand. Launched in July 2026, it comes in four flavors with 200 milligrams of caffeine and zero sugar.

McGregor frequently visits Orange County, California, and is often seen training at Laguna Beach. He recently lounged at a luxurious property overlooking the coastline during his California stay. A hilarious moment emerged online as McGregor attempted to receive MAC Energy from a drone. He even used his crutches before finally grabbing the drink.

Later, McGregor released a video discussing former UFC champions who inspire him during his recovery from his knee injury. He highlighted Dominick Cruz, who returned from multiple ACL tears and eventually became UFC champion again. McGregor also mentioned Georges St-Pierre, noting that the former champion dealt with multiple ACL tears during his career.

Surgery done. Knee repaired.The doubters can keep talking. I didn’t run from the pain. I walked straight into it. Now the real work begins. Comeback season starts now. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just the will to rise again.

While doubts about his return remain, McGregor has remained confident about competing again. The Irishman recently said he expects to be fully ready by next year and wants to return during International Fight Week 2027. A return during fight week would allow McGregor to continue his longstanding tradition of headlining the event.

McGregor has also remained vocal about wanting to face Holloway in a trilogy fight. The Hawaiian veteran teased the potential trilogy during his Octagon interview at UFC 329. However, UFC CEO Dana White has shut down the possibility of another fight between them, revealing the promotion will not pursue the trilogy.

Despite shutting down McGregor’s request, White has acknowledged that the Irishman remains one of the UFC’s biggest draws. The UFC boss has discussed McGregor’s unique status and continued commercial value. White has also indicated that the UFC may never see another fighter match the former two-division champion’s level of attention.

Even amid his injury, ‘The Notorious One’ remains one of MMA’s best promoters and continues attracting attention outside competition. The drone stunt seemed hilarious, yet it quickly became a major talking point across social media. For Conor McGregor, the moment further highlighted his ability to keep himself and his ventures in the spotlight.

Kickboxing superstar gets reality check after setting Conor McGregor’s success as baseline for potential UFC debut

Conor McGregor’s success came from elite fighting ability, confidence, promotion, and his ability to create major events. He became UFC’s first simultaneous two-division champion. His fight against Floyd Mayweather expanded his global profile, generating 4.3 million North American pay-per-view buys and over $600 million in revenue.

Outside the UFC, McGregor built major business ventures, including Proper No. Twelve Irish whiskey, launched in 2018. In 2021, Proximo Spirits acquired the remaining stake, valuing the deal at up to $600 million. McGregor retained an interest and remained involved in promoting the brand before Proximo later ended that association.

Rico Verhoeven is a Dutch kickboxer and longtime GLORY heavyweight champion. He won the GLORY heavyweight title in 2014 and has defended it across multiple championship bouts. Recently, he suffered a controversial stoppage loss in his second professional boxing bout against Ukrainian superstar Oleksandr Usyk.

Verhoeven recently appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he discussed potentially expanding into MMA. The Dutchman also discussed his financial expectations, believing he could earn money comparable to McGregor. However, UFC commentator Joe Rogan gave Verhoeven a reality check about those expectations.

For you, boxing makes the most sense, especially at this point in your life, financially. For Tom, he has a potential career in boxing as well. And now that Eddie Hearn is managing him, which is very exciting because Matchroom being behind him is gonna have a gigantic hype machine, gigantic promotion. They are at odds with the UFC. For me, I care about the fighters making the most money possible, and that’s how [Tom] is gonna make the most money possible.

Rogan also pointed to UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall’s partnership with Matchroom Talent Agency as an example. The move could help Aspinall secure more lucrative opportunities outside the Octagon. For Rico Verhoeven, Conor McGregor’s career shows how MMA stars can build major financial success beyond fighting.
