The wait is finally over, as Conor McGregor is set to return tonight (July 11) when UFC 329 takes place the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV.
Five years removed from a broken ankle that ended his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier and left him on a two-fight skid, McGregor will attempt to silence doubters and reignite his fighting career when he headlines UFC 329 against his former foe Max Holloway.
“Blessed” relinquished the “BMF” belt to Charles Oliveira in his most recent outing in March and will be making his welterweight debut at UFC 329, but Holloway has put together one of the most impressive careers in UFC history in the nearly 13 years since he dropped a decision to McGregor in their first meeting at featherweight.
