An official announcement for Conor McGregorâs long-awaited return fight appears imminent, but it may not come in time to spoil tonightâs Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano superfight on Netflix.
According to a report by the New York Post, a deal between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway is expected to be finalized for UFC 329 on July 11 in Las Vegas, Nevada, over the next week. Some originally speculated that UFC CEO Dana White has been planning to announce the return of âNotoriousâ this weekend in effort to take some shine away from a feisty Rousey. That would be pretty savage on behalf of UFC, but pettier things have happened in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA).
Earlier this week, long-time MMA reporter, Ariel Helwani, revealed that a McGregor vs. Holloway rematch was but that didnât give fight fans a ton of information to work with. Fridayâs report by New York Post provided some extra details for McGregorâs potential UFC comeback, which has been nearly five years in the making following his last fight in July 2021.
The fight is reportedly stalled due to main event stipulations that have not yet been resolved.
UFC 329 is scheduled for July 11 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
McGregor's return is significant as it marks nearly five years since his last fight in July 2021, generating considerable anticipation among fans.

Per New York Post, McGregor vs. Holloway is expected to take place at 170 pounds. Many expected that to be the case given how big McGregor gets when heâs not fighting, but this will be Hollowayâs first appearance at welterweight. The former UFC featherweight champion just moved up to lightweight last year and has produced a 1-1 record ever since, most recently losing his âBMFâ title to Charles Oliveira at UFC 326.
In addition, it appears McGregorâs Team is still pushing hard for his return fight to be three rounds instead of five. Keep in mind, McGregor vs. Holloway 2 would certainly be asked to headline UFCâs International Fight Week this July. As we all know, UFC main events are five rounds with rarely any exceptions. McGregor would be one of the only fighters to get such an exception, but it begs the question if âNotoriousâ is in the best shape he can be for his return.
Only time will tell when McGregorâs return will be made official, but it sounds like it could happen at any point over the next week.
