McGregor & Holloway: Rematch 13 Years in the Making!
10 Jul
Summary
- McGregor returns after five years for a rematch against Holloway.
- Both fighters move up to the welterweight division for their second meeting.
- McGregor seeks his first win in over six years after a past injury.
Conor McGregor is making his return to the octagon after a five-year hiatus to face Max Holloway in a rematch. Their initial encounter took place in August 2013, where McGregor won via decision. Thirteen years later, they are set to clash again, this time in the welterweight division. This marks a significant move up in weight for both fighters as they write the next chapter of their rivalry.
McGregor's last fight was a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, where he suffered a severe leg injury. He is aiming for his first victory in over six years. Holloway is looking to bounce back from his own recent loss, a BMF title fight defeat to Charles Oliveira in March. The UFC 329 event will also feature Paddy Pimblett facing Benoit Saint Denis in the co-main event.
