McGregor Returns to Octagon to Face Holloway in UFC 329 Main Event

It is a test of McGregor's comeback that will shape the UFC's commercial and betting profile.

Overview

  • Conor McGregor makes his first fight in five years on Saturday, July 11, at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with the main card scheduled to start at 9 p.m. ET and stream on Paramount+.
  • McGregor is returning after a 2021 broken leg and a long layoff, raising questions about his ring rust, conditioning and how he will fare at welterweight.
  • Max Holloway, who moves up to 170 pounds, is the favourite across major sportsbooks with odds roughly between -225 and -278.
  • Broad interest has produced heavy wagering and detailed prop markets, including BetOnline.ag weigh‑in props that reference McGregor's past theatrical weigh‑in behavior.
  • The undercard and co‑main (Benoît Saint Denis vs. Paddy Pimblett) remain on the schedule and the fight's result could quickly affect McGregor's career trajectory and the UFC's pay‑TV and global box‑office momentum.
