Conor McGregor and Max Holloway will clash for the second time at UFC 329, headlining the event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, July 11, 2026. The fight marks McGregor's return after a five-year absence, while Holloway steps up to welterweight for the first time.
McGregor's Long-Awaited Return
McGregor, who turns 38 next week, has not fought since August 2021, when he suffered a broken leg in the first round of his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He was initially scheduled to return at UFC 303 two years ago but withdrew due to a toe injury. Now, he faces Holloway, a former featherweight champion who last fought Charles Oliveira at UFC 326 in March, losing the ceremonial 'BMF' title he won with a last-second knockout of Justin Gaethje.
Pimblett Co-Headlines
Liverpool's Paddy Pimblett co-headlines the main card, aiming to rebound from his first UFC defeat—a loss to Gaethje at UFC 324 in January. He faces France's Benoit Saint Denis, ranked No. 5 in the lightweight division, who is on a four-fight win streak with knockouts over Dan Hooker and Beneil Dariush.
