McGregor Returns to Face Holloway in Welterweight Rematch at UFC 329

The bout will test McGregor’s recovery after a five‑year layoff as Holloway enters the fight favored by sportsbooks and the main card streams on Paramount+.

Overview

  • UFC 329 takes place Saturday, July 11, at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with the main card scheduled to start at 9 p.m. ET on Paramount+.
  • The headliner is a 13‑year rematch moved to welterweight, pitting Conor McGregor’s comeback against Max Holloway’s activity and recent form.
  • At Friday’s ceremonial weigh‑ins Holloway told McGregor “If this guy’s a missile, I’m a f***ing nuke,” and McGregor told fans “It’s great to be back.”
  • Vegas sportsbooks made Holloway the clear favorite (around -225 in places quoted) based on his recent activity and cardio while analysts say McGregor is most dangerous early but may fade after the opening rounds.
  • The stacked card features a co‑main of Benoît Saint Denis vs. Paddy Pimblett and notable fights on the prelims, and the result could affect McGregor’s contract leverage and both fighters’ near‑term title paths.
