Conor McGregor and Max Holloway have reignited their rivalry with a high-stakes rematch at UFC 329, marking the event as the most expensive MMA card ever on the secondary ticket market. Their final faceoff included a physical altercation—McGregor reportedly ripped off Holloway’s glasses—while both fighters traded verbal jabs.
