McGregor Returns to Face Holloway at UFC 329

The July 11 main event will test McGregor’s five-year comeback and could reset his competitive standing while creating big-money matchup options.

Overview

  • UFC 329 is set for July 11 at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with Conor McGregor headlining a five-round welterweight rematch against Max Holloway and the event streaming on Paramount+.
  • The rematch is framed as McGregor’s long-awaited return after a 2021 leg break and five years away from competition.
  • Betting markets and analysts list Holloway as the favorite, reflecting his recent activity and questions about McGregor’s ring rust.
  • McGregor has been posting training updates and trash‑talking Holloway in promotional interviews while the UFC has released new promos for the fight.
  • The undercard has seen late changes with Ethyn Ewing withdrawing and opponent swaps including Alessandro Costa stepping in for Cody Durden, and a McGregor win could lead to high-profile follow-ups such as a potential fight with Justin Gaethje.
