Conor McGregor and Max Holloway are bringing out the best in each other and fans could be in store for an epic UFC 329 main event.
Saturday’s headliners faced off for the final time following ceremonial weigh-ins at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and neither man backed down as they nearly went nose to nose ahead of their highly anticipated rematch.

Afterwards, Holloway and McGregor were both given the opportunity to deliver a parting shot on the microphone, with Holloway going first.
“I’m too ferocious,” Holloway said. “I’m too relentless. If this guy’s a missile, I’m a f*cking nuke!”
McGregor followed with a message for the rowdy crowd.
“It’s great to be back,” McGregor said. “Thank you to all the fans here in attendance, I hope you’re all ready for a blockbuster event tomorrow night. ‘The Mac’ is bringing it!”
Co-main event lightweight contenders Benoit Saint Denis and Paddy Pimblett also had an energetic faceoff, with the fans roaring at Pimblett’s arrival.
