After Justin Gaethje defeated Ilia Topuria by TKO to claim the UFC Lightweight Championship at UFC Freedom 250 in June, the promotion moved from Washington, D.C. to Las Vegas for UFC 329 and the anticipated return of Conor McGregor in July.
For the main event, Irish fighter McGregor, with a record of 22-6-0, faces American Max Holloway, who stands at 27-9-0, in a marquee rematch set for five rounds. On Saturday, July 11, UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the main card beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. You can watch UFC 329 with DirecTV.
UFC 329 marks McGregor’s return to the octagon after a five-year hiatus. Although McGregor enters as the underdog in the headlining bout, fans are eager to see “The Notorious” step back into the UFC ring—even if it’s just for one more fight. The main event is also a rematch; the two previously faced off at UFC Fight Night 26 in 2013. Holloway, who lost that encounter nearly 13 years ago, is favored to win this time, seeking a measure of revenge in UFC 329.
The event will be available to livestream on Paramount+. Importantly, UFC 329 is not a pay-per-view livestream; you simply need access to Paramount+ to watch it live.
