Chris Weidman: Conor McGregor faces 'big uphill battle' at UFC 329

Former UFC champion Chris Weidman has weighed in on Conor McGregor's return fight at UFC 329 on July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where McGregor (22-6 MMA) will face former UFC and BMF champion Max Holloway (27-9 MMA) in a five-round welterweight bout. McGregor has not competed since breaking his leg in July 2021, making it a five-year layoff, and is a significant underdog against Holloway. Weidman believes McGregor's only realistic path to victory is an early knockout in the first or second round, citing his tendency to slow down in fights and Holloway's high-volume striking output.
