Recent reports and insider confirmations from UFC officials have positioned Conor McGregor as the overwhelming consensus choice for Max Holloway’s next opponent, with the matchup reportedly targeted as the UFC 329 main event on July 11 in Las Vegas at welterweight. Holloway’s willingness to move up in weight, combined with McGregor’s long-awaited return after a 2021 layoff, has driven trader consensus toward this pairing amid ongoing contract finalization. Other names on the card remain marginal due to the absence of comparable recent developments or official interest. The situation could shift if the deal collapses over contract terms, an injury sidelines either fighter, or the UFC pivots to an alternative opponent to accommodate scheduling changes.
