Overview
- Holloway confirmed he is preparing for McGregor and said he has a preferred date, though he noted no fight contract is in place.
- Reports point to a possible UFC 329 main event on July 11 in Las Vegas during International Fight Week, which Holloway called good timing but unconfirmed.
- McGregor boxed three exhibition rounds on April 3 in Dublin, which has renewed talk of him reentering MMA.
- Holloway is seeking quick redemption after losing the BMF belt to Charles Oliveira at UFC 326, where Oliveira controlled nearly 21 minutes on the ground.
- Holloway was unveiled as the Ultimate Edition cover athlete for EA Sports UFC 6, and a new trailer that pairs him with McGregor is promotional content rather than an official fight announcement.
