Max Holloway says Conor McGregor is 'already behind' at UFC 329 if he buys into false narrative

Max Holloway is set to face Conor McGregor in a rematch at UFC 329 on July 11, 2026, warning that McGregor will be 'already behind' if he buys into a false narrative about his own fighting style. Holloway is not ruling out McGregor using grappling, as he did in their first fight in 2013 when an early injury forced 'The Notorious' to rely on it to secure the win. Holloway also expressed hope that a trilogy fight could follow later in 2026 if he gets his revenge in the rematch.
