Conor McGregor says he is better than ever ahead of his UFC 329 return against Max Holloway and is relishing the chance to showcase his skills on July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
McGregor broke his silence on Instagram following Dana White’s announcement of the fight, his first competitive appearance since suffering a broken leg at UFC 264 in July 2021.
“Thank you for all the love, support, and encouragement over the last few days, people. I am feeling very energized entering intense training camp because of it. I am very grateful for the team I have around me. My coaches and training partners, we are all fully tuned in for the challenge at hand and it is a glorious time in our gym. I am better than ever, and I relish the opportunity to once again show my mastery in martial arts to the world.”
McGregor defeated Holloway in their first meeting nearly 13 years ago at UFC Fight Night 26. Holloway enters the rematch coming off a lopsided decision loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 327 in March.
