Background
The event is scheduled to be held during the UFC's annual International Fight Week. The 2026 UFC Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled to take place on July 9, 2026.[2]
A welterweight bout between former UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor and fellow former featherweight champion Max Holloway is scheduled to headline the event.[3] This will be McGregor's first appearance since he broke his leg at UFC 264 in July 2021, and it will also mark Holloway's debut in the welterweight division.[3] They previously fought in August 2013 at UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Sonnen in a featherweight bout early in their UFC careers, where McGregor won via unanimous decision.[4]
A welterweight bout between former UFC Welterweight Champion Leon Edwards and Daniel Rodriguez was reportedly linked to the event.[5] However, Rodriguez was instead scheduled to face another opponent at another date.[6]
A bantamweight bout between Farid Basharat and Ethyn Ewing is scheduled for the event.[7] The bout was originally booked for UFC Fight Night: Kape vs. Horiguchi three weeks prior, but was moved to this event for undisclosed reasons.[8]
