Ilia Topuria isnât sure who heâd lean towards in the potential International Fight Week main event.
The Octagon is set to return to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for UFC 329 on July 11, with a packed lineup expected for this yearâs edition of International Fight Week.
Recent reports have pointed toward Conor McGregor headlining his first card since UFC 264 back in 2021, with Max Holloway currently seen as the likely opponent.

Topuria secured his lone featherweight title defence against Holloway in 2024 before both fighters moved up to lightweight, where âEl Matadorâ currently holds the belt.
Since then, Holloway has struggled. He recently lost the BMF title after a one-sided defeat to Charles Oliveira at UFC 326.
That result caught Topuria off guard and left him hesitant to confidently predict a win for Holloway if he faces McGregor again this year.
âYou never know,â Topuria said during an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show. âI thought that Max was going to beat Charles and he lost by complete domination. So I donât know.â
He also pointed out that thereâs another surprising loss on McGregorâs record that makes him hard to predict.
â(And) with Conor, you never know,â Topuria added. âSometimes he goes in, he makes it look easy. Sometimes he lost to Nate Diaz. When you lose to Nate Diaz, itâs very difficult to make predictions about someone like him.â
Ilia Topuria is unsure who he would lean towards in the potential matchup, indicating the competitive nature of both fighters.
UFC 329 is set for July 11 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
This would mark Conor McGregor's return to the Octagon for the first time since UFC 264 in 2021, generating significant interest in the event.
