McGregor Confident for Rematch

McGregor returns after a five-year layoff as Holloway enters as the betting favorite in a rematch expected to draw a record UFC gate.

  • On Saturday, July 11, 2026, Conor McGregor returns to the octagon to face Max Holloway in the UFC 329 main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This welterweight rematch marks McGregor's first fight in five years.
  • This bout is a rematch 13 years after their first 2013 meeting, which McGregor won by decision. While Holloway has remained active, McGregor has not competed since 2021, giving the more experienced fighter a significant edge.
  • Betting markets currently favor Holloway as a-240 favorite. UFC legend Jon Jones and former champion Jose Aldo cite Holloway's activity advantage, though Aldo notes McGregor remains a dangerous knockout artist with technical tools to win.
  • The event is expected to break the promotion's all-time gate record with $25 million in ticket sales. Demand remains high, with cheapest tickets starting at $1,090 and floor-level seating priced from $4,766.
  • Viewers can watch the main card beginning at 9 p.m. ET, with main event ring walks expected around 4:30 a.m. BST on Sunday morning. Broadcast partners include TNT Sports Box Office, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime Video.
