Jorge Masvidal hilariously trolls Conor McGregor ahead of his UFC return in blockbuster fight with Max Holloway
Conor McGregor ’s long-awaited return to the UFC continues to generate excitement across the MMA world. The former two-division champion is scheduled to face Max Holloway at UFC 329. It will be McGregor’s first fight since suffering a defeat to Dustin Poirier in 2021. As the event approaches, several well-known figures in the sport have shared their thoughts on the matchup. Among them was former UFC star Jorge Masvidal , who expressed confidence in Holloway’s chances of winning.
McGregor recently stated that he feels stronger than ever and has dedicated himself fully to training. The Irish fighter claimed he has spent most of his time inside the gym preparing for the challenge ahead. However, not everyone is convinced that his preparation will be enough. Masvidal and Poirier questioned whether training alone can make up for years away from active competition. They believe Holloway’s recent activity inside the octagon gives him a major advantage heading into the fight.

Speaking on the Deep Waters podcast, Jorge Masvidal dismissed the idea that spending every day in the gym automatically guarantees success. He suggested that simply being surrounded by training does not transform a fighter into a winner. He said, “I don’t care. Sleeping in a garage everyday doesn’t make you a car.” According to Masvidal, what matters most is competing regularly against elite opponents.
The former UFC contender pointed to Holloway’s active schedule as a key factor. He noted that the Hawaiian star consistently fights top-level competition and remains one of the busiest fighters in the sport. Masvidal believes that constant activity keeps a fighter sharp and prepared for the highest level of competition.
Masvidal also made his prediction for the bout. He said he strongly favors Holloway and expects him to defeat McGregor convincingly when they meet at UFC 329.
Dustin Poirier shared a similar view. The former interim lightweight champion reminded fans that he defeated McGregor twice during their trilogy. Poirier jokingly referenced those victories and suggested that McGregor’s previous losses still speak for themselves when evaluating the upcoming matchup.
Meanwhile, UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev welcomed McGregor’s return. He acknowledged that McGregor remains one of the biggest names in mixed martial arts and said his comeback is positive for the sport. However, Makhachev also sided with Holloway. The champion stated that Holloway presents a very difficult challenge and believes the former featherweight king has what it takes to hand McGregor another defeat.
