UFC 329 is set for Saturday, July 11, 2026, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, featuring the much-anticipated return of Conor McGregor. McGregor will headline the event against former featherweight champion Max Holloway in a welterweight rematch. This marks McGregor’s first fight in five years, with the bout broadcast live on Paramount+. The co-main event showcases a key lightweight matchup between Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint Denis.

The event schedule begins with early prelims at 5:00 p.m. ET, followed by the preliminary card at 7:00 p.m. ET, and the main card kicks off at 9:00 p.m. ET. Other notable fights on the UFC 329 main card include Mario Bautista versus Cory Sandhagen, and Loner Kavanagh facing Brandon Royval. The preliminary card features well-known fighters such as Nikita Krylov, Robert Whittaker, Cody Garbrandt, and Adrian Yanez.

McGregor’s return had faced setbacks in recent years, including a canceled comeback in 2024 due to a broken toe. Since his last outing in 2021, when a broken leg forced him to stop fighting, McGregor has gone 1-3 with losses including two TKOs to Dustin Poirier. Holloway, 34, has remained more active, competing eight times since their previous encounter in August 2013, with a 5-3 record that includes victories over top contenders and defenses of the BMF title.

This UFC event is expected to draw significant attention, with UFC CEO Dana White previously announcing record-breaking live gate numbers for recent Vegas cards. McGregor’s long-awaited return and the strong fight card position UFC 329 as a landmark event for the promotion, highlighting both business growth and the sport’s evolving landscape. Full fight results and analysis will follow live coverage on fight night.
