The UFC’s International Fight Week card is far more than just Conor McGregor’s return.
The Las Vegas-based promotion announced 11 bouts for UFC 329 on July 11 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. McGregor’s rematch with Max Holloway at welterweight is the featured attraction. Meanwhile, a previously rumored lightweight clash between Paddy Pimblett and Benoit St. Denis will serve as the co-main event.
The lineup also includes key bouts at bantamweight (Cory Sandhagen vs. Mario Bautista) and flyweight (Brandon Royval vs. Lone’er Kavangah). Meanwhile, heavyweight uber prospect Gable Steveson has an opponent for his Octagon debut, as he will lock horns with one-time UFC competitor Elisha Ellison. Also noteworthy is the first 205-pound foray for ex-middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, who will lock horns with Nikita Krylov.
Outside of the main and co-main events, an official bout order for UFC 329 was not revealed. With 11 bouts confirmed, it’s likely a couple more fights could be added to the lineup since the promotion typically has 13 matchups per event.
