What Time Will McGregor Actually Fight?

The main event is the last of five main card bouts, so the exact time depends on how the four fights before it play out. If the card runs at a typical UFC pace — a mix of finishes and decisions — expect the walkouts around 11:15 PM to midnight ET (8:15–9:00 PM PT), with the first bell shortly after. If Saint Denis vs Pimblett and the other main card fights end early, McGregor could walk closer to 11 PM ET. UK fans should plan for around 4 AM BST Sunday; per ESPN's UK coverage, don't expect the main event any earlier than that.

How to Watch UFC 329 — and How Much Is the PPV?

Here's the part that still surprises longtime fans: UFC 329 is not a pay-per-view. Under the UFC's US streaming deal, numbered events now air exclusively on Paramount+ — the full card, early prelims through the main event, is included with a subscription. Plans start at $8.99 per month, which means watching McGregor's comeback costs less than a tenth of what UFC PPVs ran in the ESPN+ era (typically $79.99 on top of a subscription). No cable required — just the Paramount+ app on your TV, phone, or browser.

McGregor vs Holloway: 13 Years Later

The first meeting happened on August 17, 2013, on the undercard of UFC Fight Night 26 in Boston — two unknown featherweight prospects. McGregor won a unanimous decision despite tearing his ACL mid-fight, leaning on his wrestling to control Holloway late. Both men then went on historic runs: McGregor became the UFC's first simultaneous two-division champion and the biggest star the sport has ever produced; Holloway became featherweight champion and a former BMF titleholder with the highest striking output in UFC history.

Now the rematch lands at welterweight, headlining International Fight Week. McGregor, who turns 38 three days after the fight, hasn't competed since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in July 2021 — a five-year layoff, with only three fights since 2018. Holloway, 34, is moving up 25 pounds above his old featherweight limit. The buildup has already delivered: at Thursday's press conference faceoff, McGregor ripped the sunglasses off Holloway's face as security stepped in.

UFC 329 Odds: What the Analysts Say

Holloway is the favorite — but the line has moved hard. Per DraftKings, Holloway sits at -218 with McGregor at +180; FanDuel has it at -235 / +183. That's a massive swing from the opening line, which reportedly had Holloway as high as -550, with money pouring in on the Irishman all week. CBS Sports' expert picks lean Holloway, arguing his volume, hand speed and cardio only get better as fights go longer — with Holloway by knockout a popular call. Oddsmakers expect a finish either way: the total is set at just 2.5 rounds. The counterargument for McGregor: his left hand remains the single most proven fight-ender either man has faced, and he only needs it once.
