Overview
- A charged pre-fight press conference on Friday saw Conor McGregor snatch Max Holloway’s glasses, press foreheads and be separated by security, escalating a rivalry build before Saturday’s main event.
- The rematch is set for Saturday, July 11, at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and will be contested at welterweight with Holloway moving up in weight for the first time.
- Sportsbooks list Holloway as the sizable favorite, with FanDuel and other bookmakers offering substantially shorter odds on Holloway than on McGregor.
- UFC CEO Dana White said the promotion expects a record live gate for UFC 329, publicly estimating the event’s gate at roughly $25 million.
- McGregor makes his first fight in more than five years since a 2021 broken leg, a result that could shape both men’s title paths and contract leverage depending on the winner.
