Paddy Pimblett predicts McGregor will knock out Holloway at UFC 329

Summary

Paddy Pimblett, set to fight at UFC 329 next month in Las Vegas, predicts that Conor McGregor will deliver a knockout against Max Holloway. The much-anticipated fight will be McGregor's return to the Octagon following a lengthy hiatus since his loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021. McGregor and Holloway will compete at welterweight, a weight class where Holloway has never fought. While many believe Holloway has the advantage due to his activity and durability, Pimblett argues McGregor's size at welterweight could make a significant difference. The fight card promises to be exciting as fans await McGregor's anticipated comeback.
