Overview
- UFC 329 is set for July 11 at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with Conor McGregor headlining a five‑round welterweight rematch against Max Holloway and the event streaming on Paramount+.
- The bout is framed as a comeback test for McGregor after his July 2021 leg fracture and will be the pair’s first meeting since McGregor’s 2013 decision win.
- Bookmakers have moved Holloway into clear favor as coverage highlights questions about McGregor’s ring rust and the tactical impact of the welterweight limit on both fighters.
- The undercard has been disrupted by recent injuries, most notably Ethyn Ewing’s withdrawal which leaves Farid Basharat without an opponent and has the UFC searching for a short‑notice replacement.
- The promotion already replaced Ode Osbourne with Alessandro Costa to face Cody Durden, and coverage says the card’s late changes underscore growing matchmaking pressure during International Fight Week.
