Conor McGregor will reappear in the octagon on July 11 at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, lining up against Max Holloway in a welterweight showdown. The former double champion will fight at 170 pounds for the first time in nearly a decade.

McGregor, 37, comes off a 22‑6 record and a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in 2021 that left him with a broken leg. The bout revisits their 2013 featherweight meeting, where McGregor won a decision despite tearing an ACL.

Holloway, 27, has gone 1‑1 since moving to lightweight in 2025, losing a five‑round decision to Charles Oliveira. The matchup offers a fresh test for McGregor’s return to competition.

Both fighters have faced legal and injury setbacks, but the fight marks a significant moment for the UFC’s top promotion, drawing attention to the sport’s evolving talent landscape.
