LAS VEGAS – Conor McGregor put doubts about his UFC 329 presence to rest on Tuesday when he officially checked in for fight week.
McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC), albeit later than scheduled, arrived at T-Mobile Arena to begin the process of kicking off his obligations ahead of Saturday’s return against Max Holloway (27-9 MMA, 23-9 UFC). It’s a rematch of an August 2013 fight that “The Notorious” won by unanimous decision, but this time takes place at welterweight and headlines the International Fight Week card (Paramount+).

The Irishman showed up with a large entourage, signed posters, conducted four interviews with TNT Sports, ESPN, Sportsnet and RNC before departing the venue.
After not being featured in the first two episodes of UFC’s “Embedded” series, speculation about whether McGregor intended to show up for fight week started to circle online.
He completed his first step with Tuesday’s check-in, and McGregor is next scheduled to appear at Wednesday’s UFC 329 media day, which will stream live on MMA Junkie.
