Conor McGregor vows to ‘take over’ event after last-minute Dillon Danis withdrawal

Conor McGregor is set to make his first public appearance since losing at UFC 329.

‘Notorious’ instantly blew out his knee when he returned from a five-year layoff in July.

It took just 69 seconds for Max Holloway to TKO Conor McGregor in their rematch.

'Notorious' suffered a serious knee injury moments into his comeback fight against Max Holloway.

Conor McGregor has been keeping a low profile while he recovers from his latest injury setback.

The former dual-weight UFC champion will step back into the spotlight at an event on Tuesday.

‘Mystic Mac’ will travel to Italy to be a special guest at Hype FC’s show in Rome.

From the source “I’m in Rome this week with my partners, the biggest name in sports betting, @1xbeteng!” McGregor wrote on Instagram.

“A massive week ahead! Catch me across their scheduled events as we take over Rome in style.

“We’re coming in BIG. See you all there!”

Colby Covington and Dillon Danis were supposed to face off in a submission-only grappling match in the main event of Hype FC’s show in Rome

On Sunday, Conor McGregor’s teammate withdrew from the bout on just two days’ notice.

UFC bantamweight contender Raul Rosas Jr. stepped into the spot left open by Dillon Danis.

It’s currently unclear why Danis withdrew from his clash with Colby Covington at the last minute.
