Conor McGregor's UFC 329 Return Discussed by Dustin Poirier

Dustin Poirier said that a fourth fight against Conor McGregor could persuade him to come out of retirement and re‑enter the UFC drug‑testing protocol. Poirier noted that while McGregor’s natural punching power is likely still present after his long layoff and leg injury, questions remain about his timing, movement and overall sharpness.

McGregor is slated to face Max Holloway in the UFC 329 main event on July 11, 2026 at the T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Poirier also highlighted Holloway’s recent knockdowns and suggested that McGregor’s power could be a decisive factor in that bout.
