Conor McGregor Is Bringing His Kids To UFC 329 And The Entire Fight Game Is Watching
Holy smokes, fight fans! You ready for some absolute fireworks? Because Conor McGregor, the Notorious himself, is making his epic return to the Octagon at UFC 329 on July 11, and get this, he’s bringing his children to Las Vegas. Yeah, you heard that right! He wants them front and center, to see exactly what he has built. Can you imagine the intensity of that moment, with his legacy on full display for his own kids? This isn’t just a fight, it’s a statement, and the energy around it is already through the roof!
Makhachev's Title Test and Cejudo's Boxing Dream
But McGregor isn't the only news making waves in the MMA world. Islam Makhachev’s welterweight title reign is about to face its first genuine test on August 15, and the man tasked with providing it is none other than Ian Garry at UFC 330. That’s gonna be a clash! You know Makhachev isn't one to back down, and Garry is definitely not coming to play nice. We’re talking about a true proving ground for Islam. Plus, Henry Cejudo, the “King of Cringe” himself, is reportedly considering a move into boxing. Conversations are already underway, according to sources. Could we see “Triple C” try to add another sport to his legendary resume? That’d be wild to watch!

Appeals, New Opponents, and Title Defenses
On the boxing side, things are just as wild. Rico Verhoeven’s appeal against his May defeat to unified heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk has been rejected, even though Verhoeven claims the timekeeper and ringside doctor confirmed he showed no confusion after the stoppage. Ouch. He’s already calling for an immediate rematch, though. Meanwhile, Oscar Collazo has a new opponent for his Saturday bout. Neider Valdez is stepping in to replace Joey Canoy after some visa issues derailed the original matchup, per Bad Left Hook. That’s a last-minute scramble, but you know Collazo will be ready to throw down. And mark your calendars, because Lewis Crocker is promising a “new and improved” version of himself when he defends his welterweight title against Liam Paro in a mandatory bout. You gotta love that fighting spirit!
So, what's next? If you’re itching for more action, the fight of the week features Ilia Topuria, who’s undefeated at 17-0, against Justin Gaethje, with his impressive 27-5 record, in just two days on June 20. The stakes are always sky-high when these warriors step into the cage, and this week is no different. We’re in for some serious drama, folks. Don't blink!
