The rematch between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway headlines UFC 329 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 11. McGregor, who hasn’t fought in five years, won their first fight nearly 13 years ago, defeating Holloway by decision.
- Former two-division UFC champion McGregor (22-6) last fought in July 2021 when he suffered a broken leg in his rematch with Dustin Poirier. The 37-year-old Irishman was scheduled to return against Michael Chandler, but the fight did not materialize.
- Honolulu’s 34-year-old former UFC champion and symbolic “BMF” titleholder Holloway (27-9) is coming off a decision defeat to Charles Oliveira in March.
