The promotion\u2019s former biggest star makes his return in Saturday\u2019s main event after over five years making all the wrong headlines on the sidelines. For my MMA Main Card Pick of the Week: UFC 329, I\u2019ve got your winner for Saturday\u2019s main event in Las Vegas.

After brutally breaking his leg in his last fight five years ago, McGregor returns as an almost-38-year-old (his birthday is the Tuesday after fight night). The former double champ won\u2019t be able to keep up with the striking pace that Holloway is going to put on him.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just the ring rust that will be an issue. No fighter has come back from a broken leg and looked the same (see Anderson Silva or Chris Weidman). Does the Irishman have a puncher\u2019s chance? Sure, especially at welterweight. But the line we\u2019re getting on him isn\u2019t indicative of his puncher\u2019s chance of winning.<\/p>\n<p>UFC 329 Main Card Pick: Max Holloway ML (-203)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SGPN Daily Content for July 5th, 2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/07\/05\/mlb-nrfi-and-yrfi-picks-july-5th-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MLB NRFI &amp; YRFI Daily Bets<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/07\/05\/daily-world-cup-best-bets-july-5th\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Daily World Cup Best Bets<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/07\/04\/best-bet-for-sunday-july-5th-wnba-predictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Daily Best Bet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/07\/04\/daily-dingers-for-sunday-july-5th-best-most-fun-home-run-bets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Daily Home Run Bets<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/07\/05\/nba-summer-league-predictions-preview-for-sunday-july-5th\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NBA Summer League Daily Bets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t Forget About our Free Picks Pages, Too!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/nba-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NBA PICKS \u2013 UPDATED DAILY<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/odds.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/college-basketball-picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">COLLEGE BASKETBALL PICKS \u2013 THE PICKS POWERHOUSE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/nhl-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NHL PICKS \u2013 LET IT SLIDE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/soccer-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">SOCCER PICKS \u2013 KICK IT ON THE PITCH<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/nascar-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NASCAR PICKS \u2013 FEEL THE THUNDER<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/ufc-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">UFC PICKS \u2013 TAKE DOWN CORPORATE GAMBLING<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like even more info to help make your MMA and UFC picks and predictions for UFC 329,\u00a0check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/podcasts\/mma-gambling-podcast\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MMA Gambling Podcast<\/a>.
