Conor McGregor slams Max Holloway’s glasses to ground in intense UFC 329 staredown

The bad blood between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway seems to be building.

The former two-division UFC champion McGregor and former UFC champion Holloway had to be separated in their first staredown after the UFC 329 press conference Thursday evening.

When the two UFC stars finally met in the staredown, McGregor grabbed Holloway's sunglasses and threw them to the ground. After Holloway ignored that insult, McGregor and Holloway went forehead to forehead before being separated. Holloway asked McGregor to get close again, and McGregor slapped Holloway's hands and that led them to be finally broken up.

McGregor and Holloway meet in the UFC 329 main event Saturday night. UFC CEO Dana White says it will be the UFC's biggest gate in history.

Alexander Volkanovski faces an undefeated challenger, and Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili settle their epic trilogy at UFC 333 this Saturday.

In the main event, Volkanovski puts his featherweight title on the line once again as he takes on Movsar Evloev, who has had his hand raised in all 10 of his UFC appearances and holds wins over Lerone Murphy, Aljamain Sterling, Arnold Allen, and Diego Lopes. At 38, Volkanovski is closer to the end of his career than the beginning, but can he muster up another classic performance to deny the hungry Evloev?

The stakes are just as high in the co-main event, which sees Yan and Dvalishvili face off for a third time with both men owning a definitive victory in their series. Dvalishvili defeated Yan in a three-round bout in 2023, handing Yan a third straight loss and seemingly removing him from the title picture for good; however, Yan bounced back and ended Dvalishvili's bantamweight championship run this past December with a virtuoso five-round performance. Now, the battle again, with a belt and possibly all-time great status on the line.
