Irish fighter Conor McGregor has missed several bouts in the last two years due to leg injuries. Those injuries line up with a growing pattern of inconclusive outcomes – draws, no‑contests and split decisions – in UFC events over the past five years.

Analysts warn the trend could erode fan interest and call for a review of finish protocols. McGregor's recovery timeline will also shape the promotion's scheduling decisions.
