Conor McGregor Returns for UFC 329 Fight Against Max Holloway

Conor McGregor, who has not fought since July 2021, announced on Instagram that he feels "better than ever" as he enters an intense training camp for his comeback bout at UFC 329. The Irish fighter will face former featherweight champion Max Holloway on July 11, 2026, in Las Vegas, marking his first appearance in the Octagon in nearly five years after recovering from a broken leg.

Lightweight champion Ilia Topuria said he believes McGregor could win the fight and even hinted at a possible future showdown between the two, though he noted McGregor would need to prove himself with further victories before considering a matchup with Topuria himself.
