After that, Dr. Rehan gives the exact protocol he would put McGregor on if he does in fact need ACL surgery.From there the guys get into Paddy Pimblett's clinical finish, that fighter's brutal weight cuts, Max Holloway's night, and why "movement practice" athletes like McGregor seem to age better than everyone else.01:35 Vegas, Milan's birthday & watching McGregor go down02:41 The diagnosis: why it looks like a full ACL tear07:14 Realistic recovery timeline & what surgery can't skip09:26 Where peptides actually help before and after surgery11:16 The full protocol Dr. Rehan would run for McGregor13:57 Sponsor: XYRx (code LU10)14:39 BPC-157 and TB-500 explained17:17 The drug-testing pool problem18:48 ACL vs. meniscus & why surgery is unavoidable22:49 Paddy Pimblett's finish, his camp & those weight cuts29:48 Max Holloway, the Vegas weekend & Conor's comeback oddsEvery week, Physician Dr. Rehan Muttalib and XYRx founder Milan Costich on the real science of male longevity: peptides, GLP-1s, training, and recovery.Longevity UniversityYouTube: youtube.com/@LongevityUniversity Instagram: instagram.com/longevityunversity_ TikTok: tiktok.com/@longevityuniversity X: x.com/longevityupod Dr. RehanInstagram: instagram.com/askDr.RehanTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrrehanX: x.com/askdrrehan MilanInstagram: instagram.com/milancostich TikTok: tiktok.com/@milancostich X: x.com/MilanCostich_Support our sponsor (and the Milan and Dr. Rehan's company) XYRx.coXYRxYouTube: youtube.com/@XYRxHealth Instagram: instagram.com/xyrxhealth TikTok: tiktok.com/@xyrxhealth X: x.com/xyrxhealth
