Conor McGregor is back, and UFC is treating the comeback like a major event. UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway 2 is set for Saturday, July 11, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, streaming live on Paramount+. In the build-up to McGregor’s first fight since 2021, the MMA promotion pushed a first-of-its-kind special, THIS IS UFC: McGregor vs. Holloway, featuring an inaugural free broadcast TV UFC weigh-in.
McGregor’s last Octagon appearance came in July 2021 against Dustin Poirier, when he suffered a broken left leg in their trilogy fight. A planned return in 2024 never happened after McGregor pulled out with a toe injury, which only added to the long wait for this comeback. Tonight’s bout against Max Holloway is McGregor’s first fight in five years, and the matchup has been billed as one of the biggest UFC return stories in years.
The buildup to tonight’s action inside the Octagon had plenty of heat. Holloway and McGregor got physical at the UFC 329 press conference, with McGregor ripping off Holloway’s sunglasses and forcing security to step in. Dana White said the event has already smashed the UFC’s live gate record, with UFC 329 bringing in $25 million in ticket sales. That puts this card ahead of the previous high-water mark and underlines just how much McGregor still moves the needle, even after years away from the cage.
