UFC International Fight Week 2026 kicked off earlier this week in Las Vegas, bringing together fans and fighters for one of the promotion’s biggest annual celebrations. The festivities concluded with UFC 329, headlined by the long-awaited rematch between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway.
Conor McGregor made his long-awaited comeback to the Octagon at UFC 329, headlining against former featherweight champion Max Holloway in a welterweight rematch thirteen years in the making.
This was McGregor’s first appearance since he suffered a broken leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. He returned against a familiar face, having beaten Holloway by unanimous decision back in August 2013 in a featherweight bout early in both men’s UFC careers.
However, five years after his injury, McGregor once again suffered another leg injury, this time blowing out his right knee. He tried to fight through but was unable to continue as the referee stopped the action, with Holloway securing the win via TKO.
The co-main event saw lightweight contenders Benoit Saint Denis and Paddy Pimblett collide in a three-round clash, with Pimblett securing the win via D’Arce choke in the very first minute of the very first round.
