Conor McGregor Confident for Rematch with Max Holloway, as the Two Headline UFC 329 on Saturday

McGregor says he will trade punches if Holloway starts his signature stand-and-bang exchange, setting up a rematch after 13 years.

  • On Saturday, 34-year-old former featherweight champion Max Holloway welcomes former double champion Conor McGregor back to the Octagon for the main event of UFC 329 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
  • History links the fighters to a 2013 bout where a dominant McGregor defeated Holloway before the Irishman began a five-year absence from competition following his last fight on July 10, 2021.
  • Despite Holloway's signature tendency to point at the ground to initiate a stand-and-bang exchange, McGregor, 37, stated, "I will stand in there with this boy and let go."
  • Seeking vengeance for his previous defeat, Holloway said, "I'm going to make him wish that he didn't come back," as he prepares for the welterweight bout.
  • The main card also features a lightweight battle between Benoit Saint Denis and Paddy Pimblett, while Cory Sandhagen meets Mario Bautista in a top-10 bantamweight clash.
