Conor McGregor to face Max Holloway at UFC 329 in Las Vegas

Irish mixed‑martial‑arts star Conor McGregor will return to competition on 11 July 2026, taking on Max Holloway at UFC 329 in Las Vegas' T‑Mobile Arena. The bout is set for welterweight (170 lb) and marks McGregor's first fight in five years after a broken leg ended his 2021 bout with Dustin Poirier.

In the weeks leading up to the fight, McGregor displayed a ripped physique at Laguna Beach and completed a complimentary workout for fans. His recent anti‑doping suspension, imposed for missed tests in 2024, ended in March 2026, and he has since logged the most tests of any UFC fighter this year.

The event also involves undercard adjustments, with bantamweight Ethyn Ewing and Cody Durden each receiving new opponents after original rivals withdrew. This high‑profile matchup follows a previous meeting between McGregor and Holloway at UFC Fight Night in 2013, which McGregor won.
