Conor McGregor is set to return to the UFC Octagon for the first time in five years in a rematch against former featherweight champion Max Holloway, according to a May 17 report. The bout, which will take place at lightweight, revives a rivalry that began with their first meeting early in both men’s UFC careers. McGregor has been out of action since suffering a leg injury in 2021, while Holloway has remained active near the top of the featherweight division. The matchup has major implications for both stars’ drawing power and potential title contention. Further event details, including the card placement and location, are expected to be confirmed by the UFC.
