Max Holloway is ramping up preparations for his UFC 329 rematch with Conor McGregor at International Fight Week in Las Vegas.

McGregor is set to return after five years away from the Octagon following his injury loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021. The comeback fight is expected to be one of the biggest events of 2026.

To sharpen his timing and striking looks, Holloway has brought former UFC welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena into camp for sparring.

Holloway previously lost to McGregor by unanimous decision in 2013, adding another layer to their second meeting more than a decade later.
