UFC 329 features the highly anticipated return of Conor McGregor as he battles old foe Max Holloway on Saturday. In the pair's first side-by-side appearance in 13 years, tensions escalated quickly.
On Thursday, the promotion held its usual pre-numbered event press conference to hype the main and co-main events. For McGregor, stages like these were staples of his rise, displaying his silver tongue and quick wit. After five years away, he rematches Holloway, who lost to McGregor via unanimous decision in 2013 at featherweight.
Ahead of their welterweight bout Saturday, McGregor and Holloway got physical when going forehead-to-forehead, as McGregor tossed Holloway's sunglasses and slapped his hand.
Despite the interaction, Holloway remained in good spirits and didn't take McGregor's actions too seriously.
"I feel great. That was good fun. Typical Conor, we're fine, we're fine, we're fine," Holloway said.
