Conor McGregor returns to the UFC for the first time in about five years when he faces Max Holloway at UFC 329 on July 11 in Las Vegas. UFC President Dana White makes the announcement across multiple outlets, with the bout set for the main event at the T-Mobile Arena. McGregor, a former two-division UFC champion, last fought in July 2021, when he lost to Dustin Poirier and suffered a broken leg, later leading to a lengthy layoff. Reports describe the fight as a rematch: McGregor and Holloway previously met at UFC events in 2013, and the upcoming contest is characterized as non-title. Several outlets also reference McGregor’s first public statement since announcing his comeback, and note that he is expected to return later this summer with significant motivation. Coverage consistently frames the match as a welterweight/lightweight or closely related catchweight-style matchup, though exact classification varies by report. Overall, the sources agree on the key details: McGregor’s return date, opponent, and the Las Vegas setting.
