Conor McGregor and Max Holloway have both made weight ahead of their UFC 329 main event, coming in at 77.33 kg and 77.11 kg respectively. The bout is officially confirmed to proceed.
Both Conor McGregor and Max Holloway stepped on the scale without issue on Friday, clearing the way for their UFC 329 main event to proceed as scheduled on July 11, 2026. McGregor came in at 77.33 kg while Holloway weighed 77.11 kg, and the contest is officially confirmed.
McGregor, 37, carries a 22-6-0 professional record into the fight. The Irishman out of SBG Ireland competes as a southpaw, standing five-foot-nine with a notably long 74-inch reach. He lands 5.32 significant strikes per minute at a 49 percent accuracy rate and averages 0.67 takedowns per 15 minutes, showing he is comfortable mixing levels when necessary.
Holloway enters ranked fourth in the lightweight division and ninth on the pound-for-pound list, carrying a 27-9-0 record. The 34-year-old from Hawaii trains out of Gracie Technics and fights out of an orthodox stance. At five-foot-eleven with a 69-inch reach, he is one of the sport's most prolific volume strikers, averaging 7.2 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy. His takedown and submission output are modest, reflecting an approach that leans heavily on standing warfare.
Why it matters
- Holloway's fourth-place lightweight ranking means a strong performance could push him toward a title shot in the division
- McGregor's return carries significant weight given his profile, and a win would re-establish him among the lightweight contenders
- The style matchup pits McGregor's southpaw power and longer reach against Holloway's exceptional output and forward pressure
- Both men cleared weight cleanly, removing any last-minute uncertainty heading into fight night
