Former two-weight champion Conor McGregor is gearing up for his highly anticipated UFC return against Max Holloway at UFC 329 on July 11. During a recent interview, McGregor shared his thoughts on the upcoming matchup.
The bout will mark the end of a five-year hiatus for ‘The Notorious’, who has not fought since suffering a serious injury in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier in 2021.
Meanwhile, ‘Blessed’ has remained at the top of his game and even defeated UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje in a BMF title showdown.
McGregor and Holloway first locked horns in a featherweight bout in 2013, where the Irishman won by unanimous decision. Nearly 16 years later, the two fighters will clash again, this time at 170 pounds.
During his sit-down with Paramount, McGregor stated that he has not seen major improvements in Holloway’s game since their first bout. He said:
“I sonned Max when I fought him last, and I plan on doing the same again in more devastating fashion.”

“It’s gonna be a demolotion. It’s gonna be an absolute demolition. I know the damage he’s taken. I know I will just have to touch him. And after that, it will be clinical.
A win alone is not just enough- it must be spectacular. And that it will be.”
