UFC<\/a> 329 is scheduled for July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.<\/p>\nMcGregor has a professional MMA record of 22-6, and a 10-4 UFC record. His pinnacle was 2016 \u2013 when he became the UFC\u2019s first simultaneous two-division champion, holding both the featherweight and lightweight titles.<\/p>\n
Solid Handle So Far<\/h2>\n
McGregor\u2019s greatest bout is debated, but most people point to his knockout of longtime featherweight champion Jose Also at UFC 194 in 2015 \u2013 in 13 seconds.<\/p>\n
McGregor is a long way from that fight, said Korulis. Since the Poirier, McGregor has drawn media attention for everything other than fighting \u2013 court cases, Irish politics, social media posts, endorsements, business launches, for whisky and cigars. He has a net worth in the hundreds of millions of dollars, according to media reporting.<\/p>\n
\u201c<\/i>I would describe my thoughts as cautiously optimistic, as we\u2019ve been teased a few times with the return of\u00a0McGregor,\u201d said Brandon Yaeger, Lead Combat Sports Trader at Caesars Sportsbook. \u201c<\/span>Overall, very excited for the potential matchup, and anytime you get two legends fighting each other, it\u2019s always worth watching. The main thing will be seeing whether McGregor<\/span>\u00a0can look anything like his past self and what Holloway can offer. The line is currently priced at Holloway (-400),\u00a0McGregor<\/span>\u00a0(+300). Handle is pretty solid thus far.\u201d<\/p>\nBetMGM: Big Money on McGregor<\/h2>\n
At BetMGM, current odds are Holloway -550 (after opening at -345), and McGregor +350 (after opening at +250). Ninety-five per cent of bets are on McGregor so far, and 99% of handle.<\/p>\n
\u201cConor\u00a0McGregor<\/span> in his prime was truly awesome, but he hasn\u2019t fought since 2021,\u201d said Alex Rella, Trading Manager, BetMGM. \u201cWho knows what version of Conor is going to show up. On the other hand, Max Holloway has never stopped being an elite fighter. There are few fighters in the world that can beat Max in a straight up striking battle.\u201d<\/p>\nHolloway\u2019s last fight was in March, at UFC 326, a loss by unanimous decision to Charles Oliveira. In that fight Oliveira successfully bottled up Holloway through his exemplary wrestling skills, keeping him on the mat, controlling and exhausting him, and Holloway couldn\u2019t get loose to show off his elite striking power. That won\u2019t be the case against McGregor.<\/p>\n
Elite Striking Ability<\/h2>\n
Holloway is much easier to trust, added Korulis. He has been active, durable, and consistent, and his pace is a major factor if the fight goes beyond the early rounds. That is why the market naturally leans heavily toward him. He is the safer side based on recent form and reliability.<\/p>\n
Holloway is one of the UFC greats, and has beaten some of the biggest names in the history of the sport \u2013 Aldo, Justin Gaethje, Poirier. Holloway and McGregor met once before \u2013 at UFC Fight Night in 2013, with McGregor winning a three-round unanimous decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far, the market looks more Holloway-sided, but we would still expect McGregor<\/span> to attract public money closer to fight week,\u201d he said. \u201cAt +309, many casual bettors will see value because of his name, his knockout history, and the comeback story. If he looks sharp in the build-up and the media coverage increases, we could see more McGregor<\/span>\u00a0volume late.<\/p>\n\u201cOverall, Holloway is the strong favorite on current form, but McGregor<\/span> remains the fighter who can create liability for the book. The price reflects the sporting reality, while the betting volume closer to the event may be driven more by McGregor<\/span>\u2019s popularity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
