Conor McGregor and Max Holloway are only one month away from their showdown at UFC 329 on July 11 in Las Vegas. Before the two rematch 13 years after their first bout, they shared a brief interaction on the same day as UFC Freedom 250 at the White House.After the historic UFC event concluded on Sunday night, the promotion aired a virtual interview between the two rivals hosted by longtime color commentator Joe Rogan. McGregor and Holloway took the time to banter back and forth, hyping their clash rather than the two answering in-depth questions from the world's most famous podcaster.McGregor: "You said the best boxer? We're going to see. No. 1 pound-for-pound featherweight? After I beat you at featherweight? We're going to see now."Holloway: "I'm going to be 1-0 against him, then we're going to rematch at the end of the year. That's what's going to happen."McGregor: "I son'd him at that weight. I listened to people throughout the years say, 'They were only kids back then.' Sorry. Holloway was only a kid back then. I was not. ... Max had his sixth UFC fight. He was my second."No disrespect, Max. You're not going to lay a glove on me, and even if you do, I'm going to laugh in your face. It's another world here against me, and it's another world at this weight. I'm going to come out of this bout unscathed and in all glory. ... I'm going toonna come out of this fight unscathed and go again."McGregor defeated Holloway in their first fight via unanimous decision at UFC Boston in August 2013. Both men went on to hold UFC featherweight gold and eventually moved to the lightweight division. In their rematch, they'll compete at 170 pounds as welterweights. The bout will be Holloway's first in the division and McGregor's third.For the 37-year-old McGregor, the fight will also mark his Octagon return since suffering a devastating leg break against Dustin Poirier in July 2021 at UFC 264.

FIFA is aware of footage involving a match official at the World Cup after a hand gesture made before Germany's opening match against Curaao attracted attention online.The incident occurred shortly before kick-off during Germany's Group Stage clash, when broadcast cameras focused on officials as part of a pre-match introduction segment.Referee Shaun Evans, who was serving as a support VAR official for the fixture, appeared to make an upside-down "OK" hand gesture while looking towards the camera.The footage was shown live before Germany went on to secure a commanding 7-1 victory.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayThe gesture has generated discussion on social media due to the different interpretations that can be attached to it.The "OK" sign is most commonly used around the world to indicate approval or agreement and remains a widely recognised everyday gesture.However, organisations including the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) have previously noted that, in some contexts, the symbol has also been used by white supremacist extremists and internet trolls, meaning interpretation can depend heavily on intent and surrounding circumstances.The ADL has stressed that the overwhelming majority of uses of the gesture remain benign and that caution should be exercised before drawing conclusions about an individual's intentions.As a result, any assessment of the incident would likely focus on context and intent rather than the gesture alone.At the time of writing, there is no public indication that the official intended the gesture to convey any political, ideological or discriminatory message.The gesture is also associated in some countries with a long-running playground game in which participants attempt to entice others into looking at a hand sign positioned below the waist.FIFA has not publicly commented on the footage beyond being aware of the matter.LATEST SPORTS NEWS:Emma Raducanu handed major boost for Wimbledon following Queen's Club Championship runWorld Cup 2026 day five: All the latest ahead of Spain vs Cape Verde, Belgium vs Egypt and Saudi Arabia vs UruguayJurgen Klopp forced to issue apology on live TV at the World CupThe incident has nevertheless drawn comparisons online to a separate controversy during the Paris Olympics, where an accredited worker was removed from the Games after footage emerged appearing to show a similar hand gesture during competition.That case involved different circumstances and was assessed individually by organisers.Germany's emphatic victory ultimately ensured most attention remained focused on events on the pitch.Julian Nagelsmann's side made an impressive start to their World Cup campaign, with Felix Nmecha opening the scoring early before further goals from Nico Schlotterbeck, Kai Havertz, Jamal Musiala, Nathaniel Brown and Deniz Undav completed a dominant display.Despite the heavy defeat, Curaao enjoyed a landmark moment when Livano Comenencia scored the nation's first-ever World Cup goal.The strike sparked huge celebrations among supporters and represented a historic achievement for the Caribbean side, which became one of the smallest nations ever to compete at the tournament.Veteran coach Dick Advocaat, who at 78 became the oldest manager in World Cup history, insisted there was still plenty for his players to be proud of despite the result."We expected to do more against Germany, but they were too strong," Advocaat said."Despite this outcome, the joy of the fans is fantastic. This is not a disgrace and we can still be proud."Nagelsmann was also satisfied with Germany's performance as his side began their campaign with a convincing win."A winning start is always important," he said. "We're very pleased that we managed it."Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
