Overview
- Max Holloway, who spoke Tuesday in multiple interviews, said he is training for a Conor McGregor rematch but confirmed he has not received a UFC contract.
- Reports continue to link the potential bout to UFC 329 on July 11 at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, though neither fighter nor the UFC has announced a main event.
- A new UFC 6 video game trailer that opens with a Holloway–McGregor matchup added fuel to the speculation, even as the fight remains unsigned.
- UFC Hall of Famer Chael Sonnen, speaking Monday, questioned the sporting stakes of the rumored pairing and argued the matchup lacks clear ranking implications.
- McGregor has not fought in MMA since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in 2021 but boxed three exhibition rounds on April 3, while Holloway is seeking a quick return after losing the BMF title to Charles Oliveira; International Fight Week often stages the UFC’s biggest cards.
