Conor McGregor vs Max Holloway: India Start Time, Live Streaming and Everything You Need to Know
Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor is set to make his long-awaited return to the Octagon after nearly five years, headlining UFC 329 against Max Holloway in a blockbuster rematch at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
McGregor has not competed since suffering a serious leg injury during his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier in 2021. His comeback has been one of the most anticipated events in mixed martial arts, with fans eagerly awaiting his return.
The headline bout revisits a rivalry that began in 2013 when McGregor defeated Holloway via unanimous decision. More than a decade later, both fighters return to the cage with vastly different careers and significantly more experience. UFC 329 also features several marquee matchups, including Paddy Pimblett taking on Benoit Saint-Denis, making it one of the promotion’s biggest events of the year.

McGregor Eyes Active Return and Future Free Agency
Ahead of his comeback, McGregor revealed that he already knows the schedule for his remaining UFC fights but believes the planned gaps between bouts are too long.
The Irish star said he wants to remain active rather than spending months on the sidelines between appearances. He also confirmed that he plans to explore free agency once his current UFC contract expires, although he remains open to signing a new agreement if the promotion presents an attractive offer.
Holloway Looks to Even the Score
Since losing to McGregor in their first meeting in 2013, Max Holloway has established himself as one of the UFC’s most accomplished fighters.
The Hawaiian enjoyed a lengthy winning streak, captured the UFC featherweight championship, and successfully defended the title multiple times. He later moved to the lightweight division, securing several notable victories before suffering a decision defeat to Charles Oliveira earlier this year.
