Conor McGregor says UFC gave him good deal: 'They honored me, finally'

Conor McGregor (22-6 MMA) is set to return to the UFC after a five-year layoff, facing Max Holloway (27-9 MMA) in a five-round welterweight main event at UFC 329 on July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, available on Paramount+. McGregor had previously been scheduled to fight Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024, but withdrew due to a broken pinky toe. McGregor expressed satisfaction with his new deal, stating the UFC 'honored' him, and noted confidence heading into the bout, having previously defeated Holloway earlier in both their careers.
