UFC 329 and the return of Conor McGregor are just a few days away, and the event’s official pre-fight press conference is scheduled to go down tonight at T-Mobile Arena.

Taking place just over a month after June’s “UFC Freedom 250” show at The White House, arguably the biggest UFC event of the entire year will dominate the attention of the combat sports world this Saturday in Las Vegas, NV.

The card’s main event will see former two-division UFC titleholder Conor McGregor return to action for the first time in five years to rematch Max Holloway, who previously dropped a decision to the Irishman in 2013 when the two men were both early on in their respective UFC runs.

Conor McGregor Returns to Fight Max Holloway at UFC 329

Fans haven’t seen McGregor fight since 2021, when his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier came to an end after the opening round due to a broken ankle that kicked off what has become a lengthy hiatus for “The Notorious”.

Now less than a week away from his 38th birthday, McGregor was scheduled to make his return at UFC 303 against his opposing The Ultimate Fighter coach Michael Chandler before withdrawing from the event on extremely late notice with a broken toe.

Holloway, who is also a former featherweight titleholder, has competed eight times since McGregor’s last UFC appearance. “Blessed” relinquished the UFC “BMF” title in his last outing against Charles Oliveira after he won the belt with a sensational last-second knockout of Justin Gaethje and defended it successfully against Poirier in the latter fighter's retirement bout.

The rematch between McGregor and Holloway is obviously the main attraction for UFC 329 and is already generating considerable interest outside of the combat sports bubble, but the card also offers a number of other high-profile fights.

The main card features another intriguing rematch between top-ranked bantamweight contenders Cory Sandhagen and Mario Bautista, which will take place immediately before a huge lightweight co-main event that will see Benoit Saint-Denis take on Paddy Pimblett.
