Conor McGregor Rips Glasses Off Holloway at UFC 329 Presser
Conor McGregor, who hasn't fought in five years, proved he hasn't lost his touch with the crowd. At the UFC 329 press conference in Las Vegas, the 37-year-old Irishman put on a real show, with his future opponent Max Holloway as the main character. The event took place on February 13 and gathered all the main card fighters.
One of the brightest moments of the evening was McGregor's rendition of the Oasis song 'Wonderwall.' When asked whose comeback is bigger—his or the Gallagher brothers' reunion in 2025—he didn't hesitate and started singing the hit. The crowd joined in, including his wife Dee and their kids, who were present at the event. The moment instantly went viral on social media.
But the real sensation happened during the traditional face-off photo op. When the fighters stood face to face, Conor McGregor suddenly ripped the Oakley Meta glasses off Holloway's face and ran off. Max, in turn, shared a video from the scene on his social media, showing the incident from his point of view. The incident added fuel to the already heated rivalry.
Holloway, who earlier told TMZ Sports that he expects to face the best version of McGregor, didn't hold back and exchanged sharp words with the Irishman. He emphasized that he's ready for the fight and confident of victory. McGregor, for his part, reminded everyone that his media antics are an integral part of his preparation, as seen before his bouts with Nate Diaz.
For McGregor, this is a return to the UFC after a long break due to a leg injury sustained in his fight with Dustin Poirier. UFC 329 is his chance to prove he's still one of the best fighters in history. Holloway, the current featherweight champion, is equally determined and wants to add another title to his collection.
The McGregor-Holloway fight promises to be one of the most anticipated events of the year in MMA. Both fighters are known for their spectacular style and ability to surprise the audience. In addition to their bout, the UFC 329 card includes several other intriguing matchups, making the event a must-watch for all fans.
After the press conference, a heated discussion erupted on social media: fans are divided between those who support McGregor and those who consider his behavior unprofessional. Conor, as usual, is fueling interest in the fight with provocative posts on Instagram. All that's left is to wait for the fight to see who is stronger not only in words but also in the octagon.
