The Mac is back.

UFC star Conor McGregor will make his long-awaited return to the Octagon against Max Holloway at UFC 329 on July 11 in Las Vegas, Dana White announced Saturday night.

The International Fight Week clash marks McGregor’s first trip to the Octagon since July 2021, when “The Notorious” broke his leg against Dustin Poirier.

The pair of fan-favorites first met in 2013 amid their respective climbs up the UFC food chain, with McGregor winning by unanimous decision.

McGregor (22-6), 37, has not won a bout since he stopped Donald Cerone in January 2020.

The 34-year-old Holloway (27-9) has remained busy inside the cage amid McGregor’s absence. He’s won four of his last six bouts but looks to bounce back from his BMF title loss to Charles Oliveira in March.
