UFC 329 Weigh-In Results And Final Faceoffs
UFC 329 is set to headline International Fight Week 2026 in Las Vegas come Saturday night, and earlier on Friday all 28 competitors successfully weighed in to compete, making the card official.
Following the success of the weigh-ins earlier in the day was the spectacle of the ceremonial weigh-in show, where the competitors came face to face one last time before meeting inside the octagon.
In the main event of the evening, Conor McGregor is ready to make his first MMA appearance in five years. McGregor most recently stepped into the UFC octagon back in 2021 for his trilogy match with Dustin Poirier, which resulted in a TKO loss caused by the Irishman breaking his leg. He had his return match scheduled for 2024 against Michael Chandler, following the pair coaching opposite one another on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter, but unfortunately the match did not come to fruition because of another injury.
Now, ‘The Notorious’ will make his long-awaited return against Max Holloway, in a rematch to their first bout that took place thirteen years ago, in which McGregor secured a unanimous decision victory.

In the co-main event, Paddy Pimblett is set to square off with Benoit Saint Denis in an attempt to bounce back from his first UFC loss to Justin Gaethje back in January. But Saint Denis is a tough fight for anyone in the division, having most recently defeated Dan Hooker with a second-round TKO, he now finds himself on a four-fight win streak.
Currently, Pimblett is ranked No. 9 in the lightweight division, while Saint Denis sits at No. 5, meaning a win for either fighter would solidify their position among the top contenders. With this in mind, it is not out of the question to think that following this fight, the victor could be just one more win away from a shot at the 155-pound title.
