Two stories dropped around Conor McGregor’s UFC 329 return on the same day, and both of them landed perfectly.
The Irishman has officially revealed his custom fight shorts ahead of the July 11 rematch with Max Holloway, and the man who wants to fight him next will be sitting in the building watching it happen.
Conor McGregor’s Money Shorts Are Back
Conor McGregor has revealed his official Venum custom UFC shorts for UFC 329, and they gave him exactly what the occasion demands. The money shorts, the personalised ring walk gear that became synonymous with his peak era, are back for the comeback fight.
For McGregor, the details have always mattered as much as the performance itself, and walking into T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with custom shorts signals that he views this return as a full restoration of everything that made him the biggest star in combat sports history, not just a comeback fight.
‘The Notorious’ walking out in custom money shorts is entirely appropriate for a man who remains the UFC’s biggest pay-per-view draw in the promotion’s history.
He has headlined eight of the 10 highest-selling pay-per-view events in UFC history, and the spectacle surrounding his return at UFC 329 already reflects that unparalleled drawing power.
Nobody else in the sport gets custom everything, and nobody else has earned it the way he has. McGregor himself has never been shy about acknowledging his commercial weight inside the organisation. “Without me, this whole f*cking ship sinks,” he had said.
The money shorts are not just a fashion choice. They are a reminder of exactly who built the stage he is walking back onto on July 11.
Justin Gaethje Will Be in the Building at UFC 329
Justin Gaethje confirmed he will be in attendance at UFC 329 to watch McGregor and Holloway settle their rematch in person. Given what lightweight champion Justin Gaethje has said publicly about McGregor, his presence ringside adds an obvious layer to fight week.
“I would love to punch Conor McGregor in the face.”
The Implications of Justin Gaethje Showing Up at UFC 329
The undisputed UFC lightweight champion sitting ringside while Conor McGregor fights after 5 years is not an accident. If ‘The Notorious’ wins, the staredown or interaction between the two men on that night could set the entire direction of the lightweight division heading into 2027.
