Conor McGregor officially weighs in at 170.5 pounds for UFC 329 fight against Max Holloway

Conor McGregor officially weighed in at 170.5 pounds (77.3kg) on Friday, July 10, 2026, ahead of his highly anticipated bout against Max Holloway at UFC 329 in Las Vegas. This marks McGregor's return to the octagon after a five-year hiatus due to injury and personal issues.

McGregor's Comeback After Injury

The former two-division champion has not fought since suffering a broken tibia against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. Originally set to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024, McGregor's return was delayed due to a toe injury. Now, he aims to re-establish himself in the welterweight division.

McGregor's professional MMA record stands at 22 wins and 6 losses. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how he performs following his long absence from competitive fighting.

Max Holloway's Welterweight Debut

Max Holloway, a 34-year-old from Hawaii, weighed in at 170 pounds (77.1kg) for the fight. This will be his official debut in the welterweight division after a successful career at featherweight and lightweight. Holloway holds a professional record of 27 wins and 9 losses.

Holloway is looking to even the score with McGregor, having lost their first encounter 13 years ago by unanimous decision. The stakes are high as he seeks to make a mark in a new weight class.

Anticipation Surrounding UFC 329

UFC 329 is set to cap off the International Fight Week festivities in Las Vegas, drawing significant attention from MMA fans worldwide. The atmosphere is electric, especially following a dramatic face-off where McGregor famously snatched and tossed Holloway's sunglasses to the ground.

“Man, I’m going to miss those sunglasses,” Holloway tweeted, showcasing the lighter side of their rivalry. As the fight approaches, both fighters are expected to bring their A-game, promising an exciting showdown.
