Conor McGregor's return to the UFC is scheduled for July 11 at UFC 329, where he will face Max Holloway. UFC president Dana White confirmed the fight, but doubts surround McGregor's physical readiness. Dustin Poirier, who has fought both fighters, expressed skepticism about McGregor's ability to keep up with Holloway, especially if the fight goes the distance. Poirier shared his own experience from his last fight against Holloway, where he avoided engaging in a risky exchange in the final seconds, illustrating the challenge Holloway presents with his speed and tactical prowess. Poirier noted that if the bout reaches the last moments, McGregor may not be in shape to respond to Holloway's signature point down move, which gives opponents a chance to land a final shot. Despite being the underdog, McGregor is not entirely dismissed, with support from current UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria.
