Conor McGregor returns after five years to face Max Holloway at UFC 329
Developed over time first seen 1 month ago
American cable and streaming publication Variety published a guide on how to watch UFC 329, an event headlined by the return of Conor McGregor to the octagon after five years away. The card centred on a welterweight main event rematch between the Irish fighter McGregor (22-6-0) and American Max Holloway (27-9-0), who first met back in 2013 at UFC Fight Night 26, a contest Holloway lost. Although McGregor went in as the underdog and Holloway was favoured, the bout drew considerable interest as a possible one-off comeback for "The Notorious".
UFC 329 took place on Saturday 11 July at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the main card scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT over five rounds. Notably, the event was not a pay-per-view and could be streamed live on Paramount+, with the Essential plan starting at $8.99 a month; the article also flagged routes via DirecTV's "Premier" package (from $129.99 for the first month) and a $1 Walmart+ trial that bundles Paramount+. The undercard featured bouts including Paddy Pimblett against Benoît Saint Denis, Cory Sandhagen against Mario Bautista, and Robert Whittaker against Nikita Krylov.

Conor McGregor, the Irish former UFC champion known for his brash persona and record-breaking pay-per-view draws, had not fought in the octagon for five years before this bout. His comeback opponent, American fighter Max Holloway, previously beat McGregor when the two first met back in 2013, early in both their careers.
The rematch formed the main event of UFC 329, a mixed martial arts card staged at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Unlike many major UFC cards, the event was not sold as a pay-per-view, meaning it could be watched through a standard streaming subscription rather than a separate one-off purchase.
Beyond the McGregor-Holloway rematch, the card included several other notable fights, reflecting the broader depth of talent UFC brought together for the event. The main draw for most fans, however, remained whether McGregor, a hugely famous but long-absent figure in the sport, could still compete at the top level after such a long layoff.
