After a five-year hiatus, Conor McGregor returns to the octagon as the Ultimate Fighting Championship heads to Las Vegas for UFC 329 at the “Sin City” venue. The event features a welterweight rematch main card pairing Irish star Conor McGregor (22-6-0) against American Max Holloway (27-9-0) on Saturday, July 11.
UFC 329 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a start time of 5:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. PT. The main card begins at 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT, and the headliner is expected to start around 11:59 p.m. ET / 8:59 p.m. PT. Fans can watch UFC 329 with a free trial from DirectTV. The event’s marquee attraction is McGregor’s return to the UFC after five years away; the Irish fighter’s last appearance was a July 2021 TKO loss to Dustin Poirier, and his most recent win took place at UFC 246 in January 2020. Holloway, who defeated McGregor in their initial 2013 meeting with a unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 26, seeks some payback in this rematch after more than a decade.
While the exact walkout songs for UFC 329 have not been announced, both fighters are known for distinctive entrances. McGregor often enters to a remix that combines Sinéad O’Connor’s “The Foggy Dew” with The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize,” whereas Holloway typically makes his entrance to “Hawaiian Kickboxer” by Moke Boy.
