Conor McGregor is ready to remind the fight game what he is capable of when "Notorious" meets Max Holloway in a rematch at UFC 329 on July 11 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The news of McGregor's long-awaited UFC return broke Saturday night courtesy of UFC CEO Dana White. It is pretty apparent that White waited for the night of Rousey vs. Carano to announce McGregor's comeback, but fight fans cannot be picky. "Notorious" is finally back, and that only means good things for the UFC and MMA as a whole.

The main event features a welterweight bout between McGregor and Holloway. The two first met back in 2013 at 145 pounds, with McGregor using his grappling to earn a decision win. McGregor is excited to prove he will be able to school Holloway again and recapture his UFC glory in his return.
McGregor wasted little time jumping on social media and taking immediate jabs at Holloway after the announcement.
"I'm gonna son you, child. Again," wrote McGregor.
"You're gonna put respect on my motherfucking name," he added.
Holloway, who has been waiting years for his chance to get his hands on McGregor again, was quick to fire back a response. Holloway is confident it is his game that will reign supreme at UFC 329.
"Nah big dog you gonna put some respect on my name," wrote Holloway.
"We gonna find out Saturday night," added Holloway.
