Overview
- The New York Post reported Friday that Conor McGregor is close to a July 11 rematch with Max Holloway at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, likely at welterweight.
- Dana White has said there is no deal done with McGregor but added he is confident the star will fight this year.
- McGregor, who led the Anti-Doping Test History with 11 samples in a Friday update, reacted on X by writing, “Crazy. As well as who isn’t getting tested at all.”
- Reporting cites a dispute over a three‑round versus five‑round main event as a possible holdup, and UFC main events are almost always five rounds with rare exceptions.
- Both camps are training, and multiple outlets suggest the announcement could be timed for maximum attention, though no agreement has been finalized.
