Conor McGregor is set to return to the octagon for the first time in five years tonight, facing Max Holloway in a highly anticipated rematch at UFC 329. The Irishman, who became a two-weight UFC champion a decade ago, has not secured a victory since knocking out Donald Cerrone six years ago.

Quotes from the Fighters
Conor McGregor said: "I returned to my gym. I stuck a little bed in the gym and I've been living in the gym. Literally, I've been living at the place of practice. So, in order for me to exit the gym, I had to walk across the mats and put in a session. No travel, no traffic, just right in the thick of it. With a lot of young, hungry lions around me, angling for a spot to be in my position. So, it's been a tremendous experience, a tremendous camp, and on we go."
Max Holloway responded: "I touched your face quite a lot last time, and even if we're talking about drops, I dropped your ass with a high kick."
