Conor McGregor and Max Holloway face off Saturday at UFC 329 in a matchup that has major stakes for their legacies and what’s left of their fighting future. Watch how their destinies have once again become intertwined in the UFC 329 Countdown video above. Thirteen years after they first met as future featherweight champions, McGregor and Holloway reunite in the cage, this time in a welterweight contest between two veterans looking to show they’re still at the top of their games.

UFC 329 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, with McGregor vs. Holloway 2 serving as the main event, and a lightweight matchup between Benoit Saint Denis and Paddy Pimblett in the co-headlining spot.
