Conor McGregor vs Max Holloway II: Fight date, venue, ring walk time, undercard, tale of the tape & more

Everything you need to know as Conor McGregor prepares to make his return to the UFC more than five years since his last fight when he rematches Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 311.

Last time McGregor was seen inside the Octagon he suffered a devastating leg break in the first round of his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in July of 2021.

Since then the UFC's first simultaneous two-weight world champion has remained outside of competition, with a scheduled clash with Michael Chandler in the summer of 2024 not materialising after McGregor was forced to withdraw due to injury.

Now nearly five years to the day from that fateful night at UFC 264, McGregor will step foot inside the cage once more, taking on former featherweight champion Max Holloway on International Fight Week at 170lbs.

The full UFC 329 card will take place at the 20,000-capacity T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas strip.

Since it opened in 2016 the venue has been the site of some of the biggest nights in the promotions history, including McGregor's record-breaking showdown against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 228.
