UFC 329 is almost here, featuring the highly anticipated rematch between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway. McGregor, who hasn't fought in five years due to various issues including a broken leg and legal troubles, is doubling down on claims that he's still in his prime. Holloway, however, is confident, stating he's 'still the UFC's best boxer.' The weigh-ins for this event will be broadcast on CBS, and one UFC champion has even predicted a quick knockout in the main event, adding to the excitement.
