Conor McGregor and Max Holloway are set to share the stage in Las Vegas ahead of their rematch on Thursday at the UFC 329 press conference in Las Vegas, which begins at 10 p.m. ET.
McGregor is set to return to action for the first time in five years to face Holloway in a matchup 13 years in the making. In their first meeting, “The Notorious” defeated Holloway via decision at UFC Fight Night 26 in August 2013. A lot has changed since their first meeting — which took place at featherweight — as both move up to the welterweight division to write their second chapter. So far, things have been quite respectful between the two fighters in the build.
In his most recent bout, McGregor suffered a brutal leg injury in a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. The former two-division champ seeks his first win in over six years. Holloway looks to bounce back from his BMF title loss to Charles Oliveira in March at UFC 326.
The UFC 329 co-main event fighters are also set to join Holloway and McGregor
Paddy Pimblett returns following his interim title fight loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC 324 in January to face surging contender Benoit Saint Denis.
The press conference begins at 10 p.m. ET/ 7 p.m. PT and you can watch in the video above.
