Conor McGregor has been seen in training wearing custom UFC-branded shorts featuring a money-themed design as he prepares for his highly anticipated return to competition against Max Holloway next month. The distinctive gear has drawn attention online, fueling speculation that McGregor could step into the Octagon wearing them on fight night.
McGregor, 37, carries a 22-6-0 professional record and trains out of SBG Ireland. The southpaw stands five-foot-nine with an unusually long 74-inch reach — a notable physical asset for his frame. He lands 5.32 significant strikes per minute at a 49 percent accuracy rate and has shown consistent takedown activity at 0.67 per 15 minutes throughout his career. The Irishman known as "The Notorious" is preparing for what will be a significant comeback appearance.
His opponent, Max Holloway, enters the bout ranked fourth in the lightweight division and ninth in the pound-for-pound rankings. The 34-year-old Hawaiian, nicknamed "Blessed," holds a 27-9-0 record and trains with Gracie Technics. Standing five-foot-eleven with a 69-inch reach, Holloway is one of the sport's most prolific volume strikers, landing an exceptional 7.2 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy.
Why it matters
- McGregor's return is among the most watched storylines in the sport, and any pre-fight detail draws significant attention
- Holloway's top-five lightweight ranking and pound-for-pound status make this a high-stakes contest for divisional positioning
- The stylistic matchup pits McGregor's southpaw precision and reach advantage against Holloway's elite volume and forward pressure
- McGregor's choice of fight-night attire, if confirmed, would add another layer to one of his signature pre-fight promotional moments
