Conor McGregor names the punch that could end Max Holloway’s night at UFC 329

Conor McGregor predicts the strike he’ll use to stop Holloway at UFC 329

Fans had already been anticipating Conor McGregor’s comeback, with many expecting him to be part of the UFC White House event.

However, both he and Jon Jones were left off the card, reportedly because the UFC couldn’t maximise gate revenue from McGregor’s return at that time.

Now set to make his comeback during International Fight Week, there are high hopes that his fight will draw massive numbers and potentially become one of the most-watched MMA events of the year.

McGregor has always been known for his bold predictions, dating back to when he famously called his knockout of Jose Aldo in just 13 seconds back in 2015.

This time around, McGregor is focused on stopping Holloway with a right hook. In a video shared by MMAUncensored, he said:

“I want to knock him out with this hook.” The odds have opened up with McGregor as a significant underdog against Holloway.

He hasn’t entered a fight with such long odds since facing Floyd Mayweather in boxing when he closed at +350. This time around, he’s currently sitting even higher against Holloway.

Since their last bout, Holloway has stayed busy in the Octagon – eight fights, including five title fights, since then. This puts him far more battle-hardened than anything seen from McGregor lately.
