Conor McGregor (former two-weight UFC champion) is set to make his highly anticipated return to the octagon on July 11, 2026, facing Max Holloway at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, specifically at the T-Mobile Arena. This matchup marks McGregor's first fight in five years, following a serious leg injury he sustained during a bout against Dustin Poirier in July 2021. Known for his striking skills and charismatic personality, McGregor has been a significant figure in popularizing mixed martial arts since joining the UFC in 2013. He made history in 2016 by becoming the first fighter to hold titles in two weight classes simultaneously. However, since capturing the lightweight title in November 2016, McGregor has fought only four times in MMA, losing three of those contests. His planned fight against former Bellator champion Michael Chandler was canceled due to a training injury. Additionally, McGregor faced legal issues and an anti-doping suspension in 2024, which adds to the intrigue surrounding his return. If the fight against Holloway occurs as scheduled, it will be exactly five years since McGregor's last fight.
