McGregor vs Holloway Headlines UFC 329 in Las Vegas
Conor McGregor returns from a five-year layoff to face Max Holloway in UFC 329's main event at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, with Pimblett-Saint-Denis and a stacked undercard.
Conor McGregor is set to return to the UFC in a marquee moment that will headline UFC 329, scheduled for July 11 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main event pits McGregor against Max Holloway in what is billed as a highly anticipated rematch, with the Irish star set to fight in the welterweight division for this bout. The comeback comes as a major milestone for McGregor, who has not fought since suffering a broken leg in 2021 and has spent years away from the Octagon. Three days after turning 38, McGregor aims to reclaim momentum in a sport where he remains one of the biggest draws.
Holloway, a former featherweight champion with a 27-9 record, is regarded as one of MMA’s most durable and skilled competitors. The clash promises world-class striking and a test of McGregor’s timing and durability after his lengthy layoff. The fight’s significance extends beyond the headliner, as UFC 329 also features a lightweight co-main event pairing Paddy Pimblett against Benoit Saint-Denis, alongside a fight between Cory Sandhagen and Bautista. The stacked card signals a return to the high-energy events that made McGregor a global name and could set the tone for his next moves in the sport.
McGregor’s return has been in the works for some time, following injuries that stalled a planned comeback against Michael Chandler two years ago. That setback came after a prior run-in with a broken toe on two weeks’ notice that prevented a Chandler clash. Now, in Las Vegas, the Irish fighter is back on a big stage, ready to test himself against one of the sport’s veterans while fans await the fireworks that only a McGregor fight can deliver.
