​Drake isn’t the only big-name bettor putting serious money on Conor McGregor. The Irish superstar makes his return in less than 24 hours, squaring off against Max Holloway in the UFC 329 main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. This fight marks a rematch that fans have anticipated for 13 years, though McGregor’s extended layoff and a previously broken leg create real hurdles to claiming another victory. When the matchup was first announced, McGregor opened as a notable underdog.
In the time since, the betting landscape has shifted noticeably. Tracking odds with FanDuel shows McGregor starting well below favor, at more than a 3-1 underdog on the initial announcement day, with his price swelling to around +340. As the market has evolved, money has steadily moved in on “The Notorious,” and his odds have tightened to roughly +180. A look at BetOnline’s chart, originally shared by Clint MacLean of the DieHardMMA podcast, illustrates the movement from opening lines to current figures. Meanwhile, Holloway has seen his price drift downward, dropping from a heavy favorite near -480 to a more moderate -220 as the fight approaches.
The turnout for Conor McGregor events is infamous for extraordinary attention and substantial betting volume, so it’s reasonable to expect a significant amount of money to come in before the opening bell. Will late-money bettors jump on McGregor again, or has Holloway’s current line created a case for value on the underdog? Fans and bettors alike are watching closely as UFC 329 draws nearer.
