Conor McGregor has declared that his final UFC fight must be against Max Holloway, making the demand during a press conference for UFC 329 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 9, 2026. The former two-division champion faced off with Holloway at the event, signaling his intention to end his career with a rematch against the former featherweight titleholder.
McGregor, who has not competed since 2021, stated that a bout with Holloway is the only fight that makes sense for his farewell. The two previously met at UFC 178 in 2014, where McGregor won by decision. Holloway has since become one of the most respected fighters in the division.
The press conference took place ahead of UFC 329, though no official bout agreement has been announced. McGregor's call-out adds to speculation about his potential return to the octagon.
