McGregor to make UFC return with Holloway rematch
Conor McGregor will return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship Octagon for the first time in five years when he takes on Max Holloway in a non-title rematch on July 11 in Las Vegas, UFC said Saturday.
Ireland's McGregor, a former two-weightchampion and still one of UFC's most famous and bankable fighters, hasn't fought since suffering a broken leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier on July 10, 2021.
July's return at UFC 329 will be a rematch of his second UFC fight, in August of 2013, when McGregor beat Holloway in Boston despite suffering a torn knee ligament during the bout.
The 37-year-old Dubliner had withdrawn from a planned comeback fight in June of 2024 with a toe injury.
McGregor has dealt with multiple issues outside the Octagon.
In 2024 he was found liable and ordered to pay around $250,000 damages to a woman who accused him of rape in Ireland.
In December a woman who accused McGregor of sexually assaulting her at an NBA game in Miami dropped her civil lawsuit against him, authorities having already declined to pursue criminal charges.
A month earlier, McGregor was suspended for 18 months after missing three drug tests in a 12-month period, escaping a longer ban after Combat Sports Anti-Doping said he cooperated with their investigation into the missed tests.
UFC announced the bout during the first MMA promotion by YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions outfit, a card in Los Angeles highlighted by Ronda Rousey's return against Gina Carano.
