Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway set for UFC 329 main event in Las Vegas

The UFC will headline its July 11, 2026 card at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with a welterweight rematch between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway. McGregor returns after a five‑year layoff, having missed his last bout in 2021 due to a broken leg. Holloway, the former featherweight and BMF champion, steps up to 170 lb for the first time and says he will “never say never” about staying at welterweight after the fight.

The event’s co‑main bout pits Benoît Saint‑Denis against Paddy Pimblett, while a backup fighter Mauricio Ruffy has flown to Nevada to be ready should either headliner withdraw. Holloway has spoken about his preparation, promising to “make McGregor suffer,” and former champion Alexander Volkanovski predicts a potential finish for the Irishman. The card also includes several prelims featuring Robert Whittaker, Gable Steveson and Cody Garbrandt.

The fight is expected to generate significant pay‑per‑view interest, with McGregor branding his return a “colossal event” and Holloway emphasizing the entertainment value of the bout.
