Conor McGregor and Max Holloway will face each other in the main event of UFC 329 at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada [1, 2, 3].
The bout represents a significant return for McGregor, who has not fought in five years [1, 2]. This match also serves as a rematch between two of the sport's most prominent figures, occurring 13 years after their first encounter [1, 2].
McGregor enters the octagon with a professional record of 22-6 [2]. The event is scheduled for July 11, 2026, following a fight week that began on July 6 [2, 4].
The T-Mobile Arena, located in the Las Vegas area, will host the card [2, 3]. This return is one of the most anticipated events in the sport due to the length of McGregor's absence and the history between the two competitors.
While some reports indicated the event sequence began earlier in the month, the main event is set for tonight [2, 4]. The fight is being streamed via Paramount Plus for viewers seeking access to the card [2].
Fans and analysts are closely watching to see if McGregor can maintain his elite status after half a decade away from professional competition. Holloway, meanwhile, seeks to capitalize on the gap in McGregor's activity to secure a definitive victory in their second meeting [1, 2].
“McGregor is returning after a five-year hiatus”
This fight tests whether a top-tier athlete can return to championship form after a prolonged absence. Because McGregor has been inactive for five years, the result will determine if his brand remains a viable competitive force or if the sport has evolved beyond his previous style of fighting.
