After an abandoned comeback attempt against Michael Chandler in 2024, the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion is out to prove that he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level. McGregor faces a tough test against Holloway, a UFC legend who is seeking to avenge his first defeat by McGregor at a UFC Fight Night event in 2013. He has fought eight times since his opponent last stepped into the cage, knocking out Justin Gaethje and sending Poirier into retirement before losing the symbolic ‘BMF’ title to Charles Oliveira in March.
