Conor McGregor will attempt to defy the odds when he returns to the UFC tonight to take on Max Holloway following a five-year absence. The Irishman has not fought since he broke his leg in his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier five years ago. He saw his first attempt at a comeback aborted two years ago when he broke his toe preparing to take on Michael Chandler. Tonight he faces Holloway for the second time, 13 years after outpointing the Hawaiian in Boston in just his second UFC outing.

Quotes corner
Conor McGregor: "I outwork doubt. That's it. Doubt will only build if you do not put the work in. So I make sure and put the work in. Our preparation for this battle has been very, very meticulous. We have been very, you know, if you will, secretive. Nothing has really come out on approach or on styles. There's a full-fledged mixed martial artist stepping inside that Octagon on Saturday night, and I'm excited to show."
Max Holloway: "I'm telling you guys, it's going to be a long night for Conor McGregor come Saturday night, man. We're taking him to deep, deep waters, man. Deep waters."
