Conor McGregor and Max Holloway are set to meet for a second time at UFC 329, thirteen years after their first encounter. The bout streams live July 11 at 9 p.m. ET on Paramount+.
One of MMA's most anticipated rematches becomes official as Conor McGregor and Max Holloway are booked to share the octagon once more at UFC 329 on July 11, streaming live at 9 p.m. ET on Paramount+. The two men last faced each other thirteen years ago, and the sport has changed dramatically for both fighters since that meeting.
McGregor, known as "The Notorious," enters the bout at 37 years old carrying a 22-6-0 professional record. The southpaw from Dublin represents SBG Ireland and stands five-foot-nine with an impressive 74-inch reach, measuring 188 cm. He lands 5.32 significant strikes per minute at a 49 percent accuracy rate, and his takedown rate of 0.67 per fifteen minutes reflects a more well-rounded game than his pure striker reputation sometimes suggests.
Holloway, nicknamed "Blessed," is four years younger at 34 and brings a 27-9-0 record into the contest. The Hawaiian orthodox striker trains out of Gracie Technics and currently sits fourth in the lightweight division and ninth in the pound-for-pound rankings. Standing five-foot-eleven with a 69-inch reach, Holloway is one of the sport's most relentless volume strikers, producing 7.2 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy, numbers that rank among the elite in the division.
Why it matters
- Holloway's fourth-place lightweight ranking and ninth-place pound-for-pound standing mean a win carries real title-picture implications.
- McGregor's southpaw stance and longer 74-inch reach against Holloway's elite volume output creates a sharply contrasting style matchup.
- Thirteen years separating the two meetings adds rare historical weight to the booking, with both men transformed fighters from their first encounter.
