UFC 329 poster drops with McGregor-Holloway welterweight rematch

The UFC has released the official poster for UFC 329, featuring Conor McGregor's return against Max Holloway in a welterweight bout July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

McGregor has not appeared on a UFC poster since June 2024, when a training injury scrapped his scheduled comeback fight with Michael Chandler at UFC 303, according to MMA Fighting. The former featherweight and lightweight champion broke his leg in a July 2021 trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 and spent the years since recovering, dealing with legal matters, and pursuing business interests outside the cage.

Holloway seeks revenge after 13 years

Holloway lost a decision to McGregor in their first meeting more than a decade ago. He enters the rematch off a ground-heavy loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 326, where he surrendered the "BMF" title. The Hawaiian will move up to welterweight for a chance at revenge against the sport's biggest draw during International Fight Week.

The updated card features Benoit Saint Denis against Paddy Pimblett in the co-main event, with bantamweight contenders Cory Sandhagen and Mario Bautista also set to clash. Former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker faces Nikita Krylov on a card that includes former bantamweight titleholder Cody Garbrandt taking on Adrian Yanez.
