The highly anticipated rematch between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway is on the finishing stretch and approaching confirmation, according to journalist Ariel Helwani. Helwani reports that everything is nearly ready for the fight, which is targeted for July 11. The bout will be signed, formalized, and officially confirmed unless something extraordinary happens to derail it. Helwani emphasized that while not yet 100 percent confirmed, the fight is very close to being finalized. This would be a rematch of their 2013 featherweight bout, which McGregor won by decision.
