Conor McGregor has officially checked in for UFC 329 fight week. His arrival marks the beginning of on-site preparations ahead of his highly anticipated return to the octagon.
Conor McGregor has officially arrived for UFC 329 fight week, signaling the formal start of on-site preparations ahead of his long-awaited return to competition on July 11, 2026.
McGregor, 37, enters fight week carrying a professional record of 22 wins and 6 losses, representing Ireland and training out of SBG Ireland. Standing 175 centimeters tall with a 188-centimeter reach, the southpaw has long been one of the most recognizable figures in the sport. His offensive output remains a defining trait — he lands 5.32 significant strikes per minute at a 49 percent accuracy rate, numbers that have underpinned some of the most memorable performances in UFC history.
Why it matters
- McGregor has not competed in several years, making any return a major event for the welterweight and lightweight divisions
- His striking-heavy style, averaging more than five significant strikes per minute, sets up compelling matchup questions regardless of opponent
- At 37, this fight week carries added weight as a marker of where McGregor stands in the later stages of his career
- UFC 329 shapes up as one of the most commercially significant events on the calendar simply by virtue of his presence
