UFC International Fight Week takes over Vegas July 9–12 — McGregor returns at UFC 329
Conor McGregor fights for the first time since 2021 against Max Holloway on July 11, capping four days of UFC events at T-Mobile Arena.
The UFC's biggest week of the year lands in Las Vegas July 9–12, and this one carries a headline the sport has waited nearly five years for: Conor McGregor returns at UFC 329 on July 11 against Max Holloway, his first fight since breaking his leg at UFC 264 in 2021. It's a welterweight bout — Holloway moving up a division — at T-Mobile Arena, with the main card at 6 p.m. PT on Paramount+.
The week is stacked around it. The UFC Hall of Fame induction (Dominick Cruz and Demetrious Johnson) is July 9, Power Slap and the ceremonial weigh-ins land July 10, UFC 329 is July 11, and Zuffa Boxing closes it out July 12. Expect the whole south Strip to be packed with fans.
T-Mobile Arena sits behind New York-New York, a short walk from Park MGM — the easiest place to stay if you've got tickets and don't want to fight traffic after the card. Book hotels early; Fight Week is one of the priciest weekends of the summer.
Our take: if you're not going to the fight, don't fight the crowds either — the sportsbooks and bars around the arena get slammed. Post up at a smaller casino sportsbook a monorail stop away for the same energy without the crush. And if you want tickets, buy resale the week of; McGregor cards often soften slightly once the hype peaks.
