Conor McGregor will make his return to the octagon at UFC 329, scheduled for July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where he will face Max Holloway in a welterweight bout. McGregor stated he feels rejuvenated after a lengthy recovery period from a leg injury sustained in July 2021 during a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier. He expressed confidence about his condition, suggesting he is entering his prime and feels fresher than many competitors. McGregor's previous attempts to return were thwarted, including a planned fight at UFC 303 in June 2024 that he had to withdraw from due to an injury to his pinky toe. The upcoming match with Holloway marks McGregor's first fight in five years.
