Key Points:
- Max Holloway will face Conor McGregor in a highly anticipated UFC 329 main event rematch, 13 years after their first fight where McGregor won despite injuries on both sides.
- Holloway dismisses the relevance of their 2013 bout due to the long gap and emphasizes preparing for the best version of McGregor, who is returning after a five-year hiatus following a leg injury.
- Despite recent criticism and a loss to Charles Oliveira, Holloway is determined to prove himself with a dominant, exciting performance that could reinstate him as a top contender.
- Holloway anticipates a potentially intense fight, acknowledging McGregor's willingness to engage in a slugfest if the bout extends to later rounds, but hopes to avoid that scenario by finishing the fight early.
- Both fighters face significant pressure, as a win could propel Holloway toward another title shot, while a loss would be a major setback in his career.
