Expect a fast and furious start to UFC 329’s headliner this Saturday as Conor McGregor looks to overcome five years of professional inactivity marked by a long and shameful list of offenses and beat Max Holloway on his comeback.
“Blessed” lost their only previous meeting way back in 2013, but the former featherweight and BMF champion has fought eight times since “Notorious” last set foot in the Octagon. On five of those occasions, a belt was at stake.
McGregor was 24 and Holloway 21 that night. 13 years later, it’s safe to say that a lot has changed. McGregor, now 37, went on to conquer the featherweight and lightweight divisions, becoming the UFC’s biggest star in the process. That landed him a wildly lucrative fight with Floyd Mayweather, and everything has gone downhill fast ever since. Holloway, meanwhile, has been a virtual ever-present on the UFC circuit.
But what McGregor lacks in fitness, he can make up for in sheer physicality. He has five fights under his belt at welterweight, which is five more than Holloway, who was best at featherweight – two weight classes down.
This week he has talked about putting on a show by extending the act. However, McGregor knows his best chance of victory comes from hitting Holloway as hard as possible right out of the gates.
