Conor McGregor v Max Holloway 2: How to watch UFC 329 on Virgin TV

More than a decade after they first met in the Octagon, Max Holloway and Conor McGregor are set to face each other once again.

Their first meeting came in Boston in August 2013, when McGregor was making his third UFC appearance and Holloway was a 21-year-old featherweight early in his UFC career. McGregor earned a unanimous decision victory despite sustaining an ACL injury during the contest.

Since then, both fighters have gone on to become UFC champions. McGregor won featherweight and lightweight titles, becoming the promotion's first simultaneous two-division champion, while Holloway captured the featherweight championship and successfully defended it three times.

Now they meet again at UFC 329. You can watch Conor McGregor v Max Holloway 2 live on TNT Sports with Virgin Media from midnight on Saturday 11 July (early Sunday morning).

With two former UFC champions meeting again more than 10 years after their first contest, UFC 329 revisits a matchup that has been years in the making. Here's everything you need to know ahead of fight night.

After a lengthy absence from competition, former UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor returns to the Octagon.

McGregor rose through the featherweight division before defeating José Aldo in 13 seconds to win the UFC Featherweight Championship – a finish that remains the fastest knockout in UFC title fight history.

He later defeated Eddie Alvarez to become the UFC's first simultaneous two-division champion, adding the lightweight title to his résumé.

Over the course of his UFC career, McGregor has faced a number of the sport's top competitors, earning victories over Chad Mendes, Dustin Poirier, Donald Cerrone and Nate Diaz. Known for his striking and knockout power, he established himself as one of the promotion's leading competitors during his championship run.

Now, McGregor returns looking to show he can still compete against elite opposition and make a successful comeback inside the Octagon.

After losing to Conor McGregor early in his UFC career, Holloway went on to win the UFC Featherweight Championship in 2017 and successfully defended the title three times.

His incredible striking volume, cardio and ability to adapt during fights have made him one of the most entertaining competitors on the UFC roster.

Holloway has shared the Octagon with many of the sport's elite, including Alexander Volkanovski, Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria. Regardless of the result, he has consistently delivered thrilling contests that have earned him numerous Fight of the Night and Performance bonuses.
