Conor McGregor prepares for Max Holloway rematch at UFC
329

McGregor is high in confidence heading into UFC 329. Despite being
37 years old and coming off a lengthy absence from competition, the
former two-division champion is eager to add more accolades to his
legacy.

“I feel there's so much left for me to conquer in this game. So
much more accolades. More belts, more knockouts, more records, more
cash,†he told The Mac Life ahead of his return to the Octagon. “I
am taking everything of what I have built. The fight game in the
combat sports world is McGregor's world. And I'm in my prime here
now. So, it is on me now to go and show that. And that's what I
will do.â€

Highlighting the magnitude of his highly anticipated and
long-awaited return to action, the UFC legend added that he's
motivated by all the attention and pressure on him.

“The Mac has a fight… Hallelujah! The magnitude of this event is
colossal. So it's not hard to get motivated. And to remain
disciplined, dedicated, all that is on the line here. And I am
relishing it. Another iconic mixed martial arts belt with yours
truly at its helm. Working hard, same thing every day. With no ego,
we leave our ego at the door. We're learning, working our shots,
and preparing ourselves for main event slots here at
Straight Blast Gym, Ireland,†he added.

McGregor (22-6) is set to return after a five-year hiatus from the

Ultimate Fighting Championship in a welterweight matchup
against Max
Holloway (27-9) in the main event of the upcoming numbered
event on July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Meanwhile,
Pimblett (23-4) co-headlines the card in a lightweight bout against
Benoit St.
Denis (17-3).

Paddy Pimblett wants Conor McGregor matchup at UFC's MSG
event

Pimblett wants to fight again before the end of the year. If
McGregor defeats Holloway, he wants to face the Irish superstar on
the UFC's annual card at Madison Square Garden in New York,
typically scheduled for November. While the Liverpool native
competes at lightweight, he is willing to move up to 170 pounds to
face the former two-division champion.

“The perfect fight for me would be Conor… Mad being on the same
card as Conor McGregor. The biggest name in the sport, it's nice
for him to be back. This is probably going to be the most-watched
UFC of all time,†Pimblett said in a recent interview. “I'm not
gonna be the star of the show on this one, definitely not. Conor
is. But probably gonna be the second star of the show. If Conor
wins and I win… I wanna fight again before the end of the year.
I'll fight him at welterweight, in MSG?â€

With both being former
Cage Warriors champions, Pimblett was initially compared to
McGregor when he joined the UFC. While “The Baddy†initially
welcomed the comparisons, he has since grown into a star in his own
right. He was riding a seven-fight winning streak before he came up
short in an interim lightweight title fight against Justin
Gaethje this past January.
