Max Holloway set for welterweight debut against Conor McGregor at UFC 329

Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway announced his welterweight debut (170 lb) for a rematch with Conor McGregor at UFC 329 on July 11 at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Holloway said weight is “just a number,” expressed confidence he can defeat McGregor, and warned that if McGregor resorts to trash‑talk fans may see a different side of him. He emphasized his desire for a big finish.

The two first fought in 2013, a decision win for McGregor after an ACL injury. The upcoming bout comes 13 years later, with betting odds listing Holloway as a -300 favorite and McGregor as a +250 underdog.
