McGregor Readies for July 11 UFC 329 Rematch With Max Holloway

His return will test whether a five-year layoff and a move to 170 pounds blunt his power.

Overview

  • The rematch is confirmed for July 11 at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with McGregor headlining UFC 329 against the man he beat in 2013.
  • McGregor said he lost his love for MMA during his long absence but has rekindled his passion and expects to repeat his prior win over Holloway.
  • Georges St‑Pierre urged McGregor to embrace a grueling, focused training 'hell zone' to overcome ring rust and prepare for Holloway's activity.
  • Betting markets list Holloway as the favorite (FanDuel showing roughly -250) while McGregor is the underdog, reflecting concerns about inactivity and durability.
  • The fight pairs McGregor’s five-year layoff and 2021 broken tibia against Holloway’s eight fights of recent activity and will shape McGregor’s legacy, commercial leverage, and prospects at 170 pounds.
