The Mac is Back. Conor McGregor returns almost exactly five years after his last fight, walking into the same venue he had hobbled out of with a broken leg. He’s welcomed back by a familiar face in Max Holloway, whom he fought 13 years ago. Their rematch headlines the UFC 329 fight card on Saturday.
McGregor sat against the fence giving a post-fight interview to Joe Rogan on July 10, 2021. The enraged Irishman had just suffered his second consecutive loss to Dustin Poirier after a bad step snapped his fibula and tibia. It’s been a half-decade since we’ve seen MMA’s biggest star compete, but the wait is nearly over.
Holloway, really hit his stride as a pro in 2016. He earned the interim featherweight title with a win over Anthony Pettis before unifying it with a TKO of Jose Aldo in Brazil. He followed it up with another TKO in the rematch before doing the same against Brian Ortega. Holloway chose to move up to 155 pounds in pursuit of greatness where he was outclassed by Dustin Poirier for the interim lightweight crown. He returned to featherweight to defend his title once more before dropping it to all-time great Alexander Volkanovski. With so much happening on Saturday night, let’s look closer at the full fight card with the recent odds before we get to our staff predictions and picks for the PPV portion of the festivities that you can consider before hitting the sportsbooks.
