Conor McGregor vows comeback at UFC 329 against Max Holloway

Irish mixed‑martial‑arts star Conor McGregor confirmed he will return to competition at UFC 329, facing former featherweight champion Max Holloway on 11 July at the T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The bout, the welter‑weight main event, marks McGregor’s first fight since July 2021, when a broken leg forced him out of his bout with Dustin Poirier.

McGregor, who will turn 38 shortly after the fight, said he feels “in the best condition” and is highly motivated after receiving strong support from fans. He thanked his coaching staff and training partners, highlighting a sparring session with longtime friend Nicolo Solli, whom he praised for his “phenomenal” form. The Irish fighter aims to prove he can still compete at the elite level, recalling his 2013 unanimous‑decision victory over Holloway.

The event is expected to draw significant attention from the global MMA community as one of the sport’s most high‑profile comebacks.
