WWE personality Paul Heyman made a pointed remark about UFC star Conor McGregor's recent injury during a segment on "Monday Night Raw." Heyman, speaking to Austin Theory, Bron Breakker, and Logan Paul after they were involved in a championship match, commented on their recovery times.
"Logan Paul is healing faster than Conor McGregor," Heyman stated, referencing McGregor's leg injury sustained during his UFC 329 fight against Max Holloway. The bout was stopped in the first round, marking McGregor's return to the Octagon after a five-year absence.
Following his fight, McGregor expressed his distress over the injury on social media, describing it as a severe setback. "My head gasket is gone. Destroyed," he posted on X. "I had no injury / injuries going into the fight. I was throwing kicks, planted and jumping, all throughout camp as well as backstage before the fight. This came out of nowhere. I am beyond dark here. I can only describe it as hell."
McGregor also addressed speculation about his condition prior to the fight, stating, "The talk of me being off while walking in to the fight is nonsense. I was calm, ready, and confident. I am in shock what has taken place. The devil is literally staring at me right in front of my face here. I am not engaging. I will be at church tomorrow. I will overcome this. I will not be deterred. I will return."
Meanwhile, Logan Paul has been recovering from a tricep injury he sustained earlier in the year. The "Monday Night Raw" segment also saw Maxxine Dupri assist Austin Theory and Bron Breakker in winning the World Tag Team Championship.
