E347 - Conor McGregor Made His Comeback Harder

from The Fight Library Hosted by Blaine Henry

Conor McGregor returns! But what does it matter? McGregor doesn't have anything to prove and Max Holloway has a heck of a lot more to make from this. Picking Max Holloway was a questionable decision to say the least. Conor McGregor has a mountain to climb.

Five years away is no joke and GSP is a special case. After breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in 2021, it seemed McGregor had fought his last fight. Instead, we had five years of false starts until this weekend at UFC 329. Max Holloway has a chance at revenge. A star in his own right, Max Holloway can further build his all time great resume by adding Conor McGregor and a win at a third weight class at UFC 329. Beating Conor McGregor means more for Max Holloway than the other way around. UFC 329 also features Gable Steveson's UFC debut. That era at heavyweight will be a fantastic experiment. In our co-main, we have Paddy Pimblett vs Benoit Saint-Denis as well. UFC 329 is stacked. #mmapodcast #ufcpodcast #ufc329
