McGregor Returns to Face Holloway in UFC 329 Main Event
Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor will make his long-awaited return to the Octagon when he faces longtime rival Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 329 on Saturday, July 11, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The fight marks a rematch 13 years after their first meeting in 2013, when McGregor defeated Holloway by unanimous decision. Since then, both fighters have become two of the biggest names in mixed martial arts.
The bout will also be McGregor’s first competitive fight in five years following his loss to Dustin Poirier in 2021, a contest that ended with the Irishman suffering a broken leg.
The co-main event features Paddy Pimblett taking on Benoit Saint-Denis. Pimblett will be looking to bounce back after suffering the first defeat of his professional career earlier this year.
Other notable fights on the main card include Cory Sandhagen against Mario Bautista, Brandon Royval versus Lone’er Kavanagh, and King Green facing Terrance McKinney.
Fans in the UK can watch the main card live on TNT Sports Box Office, while viewers in the United States can stream the event on Paramount.
According to bookmakers, Holloway enters the fight as the favourite, with McGregor considered the underdog heading into the highly anticipated rematch.
