McGregor (22-6, fighting out of Dublin, Ireland) returns to action for the first time in five years looking for a vintage performance. A devastating striker, he holds thrilling KO wins against Eddie Alvarez, Jose Aldo and Donald Cerrone. McGregor plans to remind fans why he is one of the greatest fighters ever by securing a second victory over Holloway.

Holloway (27-9, fighting out of Waianae, Hawaii) intends to spoil McGregor’s return with a highlight-reel finish. A former BMF titleholder, he has earned memorable wins against Justin Gaethje, Chan Sung Jung and Brian Ortega. Holloway now looks to even the score by stopping McGregor in emphatic fashion.

Saint Denis (17-3 1NC, fighting out of Paris, France) steps back in the Octagon following an impressive TKO win against Dan Hooker in February.  Currently riding a four-fight win streak, he also holds notable victories over Beneil Dariush, Mauricio Ruffy and Matt Frevola. Saint Denis now plans to finish Pimblett and stake his claim for a title shot.

Pimblett (23-4, fighting out of Liverpool, Merseyside, England) is coming off his Fight of the Year candidate against Justin Gaethje in January. A relentless competitor, he has delivered exciting victories over Michael Chandler, King Green and Tony Ferguson. Pimblett aims to halt Saint Denis’ momentum to crack the lightweight Top 5.
