Conor McGregor listed as significant underdog vs. Max Holloway
More than 12 years after their first meeting, Conor
McGregor will enter the rematch with Max
Holloway as a considerable underdog.

According to online oddsmaker BetOnline, McGregor is a +350 underdog heading
into his first fight since July 2021. Holloway, whose most recent

UFC appearance came in March, checks in as a -450 favorite.

McGregor vs. Holloway will be contested at 170 pounds and serves as
the main event for UFC 329
on July 11 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The two rivals
initially squared off in a featherweight bout at UFC Fight Night 26
on Aug. 17, 2013. Despite suffering a torn ACL in the fight,
McGregor emerged with a unanimous decision triumph.

McGregor hasn’t fought since July 2021, when he suffered a broken
leg in a loss to Dustin
Poirier at UFC 264. The Dublin native was supposed to return
against rival “Ultimate Fighter 31” coach Michael
Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024, but McGregor pulled out the
week of the event due to a broken toe. 

Holloway last appeared at UFC 326, where he relinquished his BMF
crown to Charles
Oliveira in the evening’s main event on March 7. While McGregor
has been sidelined, “Blessed” has remained one of the UFC’s most
beloved stars, adding to his legend with an iconic knockout of
Justin
Gaethje to capture the BMF belt at UFC 300.
