And if the early betting lines are any indication, oddsmakers arenât exactly siding with the Irish superstar.
According to BetOnline, McGregor has opened as a +235 underdog, while Holloway sits comfortably as a -270 favorite â and within a couple of hours, the line juiced to +270 and -330
Conor McGregor is viewed as an underdog due to the early betting lines set by oddsmakers, reflecting skepticism about his chances against Max Holloway.
UFC 329 is scheduled to occur during International Fight Week this summer at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The rematch is significant as it marks a decade since their first fight, highlighting the evolution of both fighters and the stakes involved.

The line makes sense on paper. McGregor hasnât competed since UFC 264 in 2021, where he suffered a gruesome leg break against Dustin Poirier. Since then, heâs been on the sidelines dealing with injuries, outside ventures, and legal issues â though heâs recently claimed a renewed focus on fighting through religion.
Meanwhile, Holloway has stayed active against elite competition. Despite a tough loss to Charles Oliveira in March 2026 that cost him his BMF title, âBlessedâ has competed eight times during McGregorâs absence and remains one of the most durable and high-volume strikers in the sport.
The two first met back in 2013, with McGregor earning a unanimous decision win despite tearing his ACL mid-fight. It marked Hollowayâs final loss before a historic run that saw him win 13 straight and capture the Featherweight title by stopping Jose Aldo twice.
Now, more than a decade later, they could run it back â at very different stages of their careers.
What say you, Maniacs? Is +235 enough to tempt a McGregor bet?
