UFC Sets McGregor–Holloway Rematch as UFC 329 Main Event in Las Vegas on July 11

Overview

• UFC confirmed Conor McGregor will face Max Holloway on July 11 as the headliner of UFC 329 in Las Vegas, promoted as the centerpiece of International Fight Week and streamed on Paramount+.
• It is a rematch of their 2013 bout that McGregor won, with this meeting reported to be at welterweight rather than their earlier featherweight clash.
• McGregor returns after a long layoff that began with a broken leg suffered in his 2021 trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier and included a canceled 2024 booking with Michael Chandler due to a foot injury.
• His comeback follows off-cage scrutiny that included a 2024 civil ruling in Ireland finding him liable for sexual assault and an 18‑month suspension for missed anti-doping tests that CSADA said he cooperated with.
• Holloway steps in looking to even the series and to reset after a loss earlier this year to Charles Oliveira for the UFC’s BMF title, while the International Fight Week stage signals the UFC’s push for a major showcase.
