On Friday, Conor McGregor and Max Holloway successfully tipped the scales at the weigh-in for UFC 329, one day before their Las Vegas main event.The Irishman and Holloway will clash at welterweight, 13 years after McGregor outpointed the Hawaiian at featherweight, and five years after McGregor last fought.In his last fight, McGregor sustained a broken leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier, before a broken toe ruled him out of a 2024 bout with Michael Chandler on two weeks’ notice. 2024 was also marred by a civil court case in which a jury found McGregor, 37, liable for rape in 2018. McGregor continues to deny the allegations against him, although his appeal against the verdict failed. Against Holloway, McGregor meets a fellow former world champion, considered by many to be an all-time great. Both men held featherweight gold, while McGregor went on to win the lightweight belt before dabbling at 170lb. Holloway has also fought at lightweight, but Saturday marks his welterweight debut.Follow all the build to UFC 329, below:Pimblett and the ‘hate watches’ that fuel his redemption storyOur own Will Castle interviewed Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett, who fights Benoit Saint-Denis in Saturday’s co-main event.The Liverpudlian star told Will about the “hate watches” fueling his bid to redeem himself after January’s loss to Justin Gaethje.One was Arsenal’s Champions League final loss to PSG; another was his rival Ilia Topuria’s own loss to Gaethje in June.Interview:Alex Pattle11 July 2026 10:20McGregor trained for different opponent before Holloway fight was made“As it’s out there now, we had [Carlos] Prates as the first opponent,” McGregor’s coach, John Kavanagh, told journalist Ariel Helwani on Wednesday.“‘Okay, we’re fighting Prates, let’s get going.’ I just never gave myself the time to think about: ‘Will it happen?’“[I thought it would be] tough, I knew it was gonna be a hard fight, but you know, you keep your confidence. You start game-planning, you start training, you start studying.“But it didn’t seem it was all that long into it, and then suddenly it was Max. Whoever it is, it is – as Conor would say.”More here:Alex Pattle11 July 2026 10:00This week in photosMcGregor and Holloway are held back by security.Conor McGregor (left) and Max Holloway pulled apart by security at their press conference (AP)Alex Pattle11 July 2026 09:30This week in photosA fired-up Max Holloway at the press conference.(AP)Alex Pattle11 July 2026 08:30This week in photosMcGregor with his honorary, Irish-themed UFC belts.(AP)Alex Pattle11 July 2026 07:30This week in photosMcGregor in good spirits at the press conference.(AP)Alex Pattle11 July 2026 06:30McGregor and Pimblett oddsMcGregor – 5/2; Holloway – 3/10Pimblett – 13/10; Saint-Denis – 8/13Odds via Betway.
