Overview

  • UFC 329 is set for Saturday, July 11 at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway 2 as the announced main event.
  • The fight marks McGregor’s first Octagon appearance in five years since his 2021 leg injury and follows the end of an 18‑month anti‑doping suspension.
  • The bout will take place at 170 pounds, a key detail because Holloway has never fought at welterweight while McGregor has previous 170‑lb experience.
  • McGregor’s manager Audie Attar says the fighter plans to stay active after UFC 329, and multiple reports state McGregor reportedly declined a long extension and has two fights left on his UFC contract.
  • The card is built as an International Fight Week spectacle with high‑profile undercard matches including Gable Steveson’s UFC debut, and the matchup carries outsized commercial impact that could influence McGregor’s future bargaining power.
