According to oddsmakers, Conor McGregor appears to have his work cut out for him in his UFC return when he meets Max Holloway.
After months of speculation, McGregor's long-awaited comeback fight was finalized Saturday night when Dana White announced that he will square off against Holloway in the UFC 329 main event July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) hasn't competed since suffering a broken leg in his trilogy-fight loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. This fight with Holloway (27-9 MMA, 23-9 UFC) marks the second time McGregor has been booked since then as he was set to meet Michael Chandler two years ago at UFC 303, but the fight was canceled after McGregor suffered a broken pinky toe in training.
Since then, talk of McGregor coming back to the UFC has been constant, with him even declaring he wanted to be part of UFC Freedom 250 on June 14 at the White House. But alas, he's got a rematch set with Holloway, whom he defeated by lopsided unanimous decision way back in August 2013.
In the time that McGregor has been absent, Holloway has competed in nine UFC fights, going 6-3 while claiming and defending the BMF championship. But he'll be coming off a loss when he steps into the cage with McGregor after dropping the belt to Charles Oliveira this past March at UFC 326.
According to Caesars Sportsbook, Holloway is a big -420 favorite to win, with McGregor coming back as a +320 underdog.
