Overview
- The rematch is confirmed as the five‑round welterweight main event at UFC 329 on July 11 at the T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
- McGregor has publicly said he accepted a new deal with the UFC and called the terms 'great,' while reporting from Ariel Helwani says he declined a multi‑fight extension and remains two fights away from free agency.
- McGregor detailed training that focuses on a feared right hook and on contingency plans for reinjury after his 2021 broken leg, listing specific responses if his ankle, knee or shoulder are compromised in a fight.
- Manager Audie Attar says the team initially pushed for a Michael Chandler return bout before the Holloway booking and expects McGregor to stay active after UFC 329 rather than wait a year between fights.
- Betting markets list Max Holloway as a clear favorite for the bout, and the wider commercial backdrop — the UFC’s move to Paramount+ and interest from outside promoters and streamers — frames McGregor’s next career choices.
