UFC 329: 'McGregor vs. Holloway 2' Live Results and Highlights

The Octagon returns to T-Mobile Arena for tonight's UFC 329 event, a 14-bout fight card headlined by Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway 2.

Conor McGregor (22-6 MMA) will be competing for the first time since July of 2021, where he suffered a first-round TKO loss at the hands of longtime rival Dustin Poirier. The Irish star earned his most recent victory at UFC 246 in January of 2020, when he defeated Donald Cerrone via first-round TKO.

Meanwhile, Max Holloway (27-9 MMA) will enter tonight's contest looking to rebound, this after losing his BMF title to Charles Oliveira in his most recent effort this past March at UFC 326. Prior to that setback, ‘Blessed' was coming off a unanimous decision victory over Dustin Poirier.

UFC 329 is co-headlined by a highly anticipated lightweight bout between Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint Denis.

Pimblett (23-4 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since suffering a tough loss to Justin Gaethje in a fight for the promotion‘s interim lightweight title this past January at UFC 324. Prior to that setback, ‘The Baddy' had strung together nine straight victories, which included stoppage wins over Michael Chandler and King Green.

Meanwhile, Benoit Saint Denis (17-3 MMA) will enter tonight's co-main event on a four-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory coming by way of TKO over Dan Hooker this past February at UFC 325. ‘God of War' has finished all four of his most recent opponents, earning 2 submissions and 2 KO's during that stretch.

Also featured on tonight's UFC 329 main card lineup is a key men's bantamweight contest between Cory Sandhagen and Mario Bautista.

Sandhagen (18-6 MMA) most previously took to the Octagon at UFC 320, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Merab Dvalishvili for the promotion's bantamweight title. Prior to that setback, ‘The Sandman' had defeated former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo via TKO.

Meanwhile, Mario Bautista (17-3 MMA) was last seen in action this past February, where he scored a submission win over Vinicius Oliveira. Prior to that triumph, the 33-year-old as coming off a decision loss to Umar Nurmagomedov.

Green (35-17-1 MMA) will enter the contest sporting a three-fight winning streak, with his most recent Octagon victory coming over Jeremy Stephens by submission this past May at UFC 328. The longtime veteran has gone 3-2 over his past five fights overall.

Brendan Allen says he & Khamzat Chimaev will fight only for UFC gold
Brendan
Allen says he and Khamzat
Chimaev have agreed to fight each other only if a title is on
the line.

Allen submitted Christian
Leroy Duncan in his last bout, extending his
Ultimate Fighting Championship winning streak to four. The
victory strengthened “All Inâ€'s case for a title shot and raised
the possibility of a clash with his friend, Chimaev. However, Allen
said they have an agreement governing a potential matchup.

Brendan Allen explains title-only fight agreement with Khamzat
Chimaev

Allen discussed the arrangement during an appearance on MMA Junkie
Radio, saying their friendship wouldn't prevent them from sharing
the Octagon in a championship bout.

“We have the agreement that we're not going to fight each other
unless it's for gold,†Allen said. “So, if it's for the belt, then
we're gonna fight. Fighting for the belt changes my life, and it
changes my family's. Everyone that I've ever come in contact with
knows that about me: if it's for a belt, there's no questions
that's gonna be asked from my end.â€

Chimaev suffered his first professional defeat in May, losing the
UFC middleweight title to Sean
Strickland at
UFC 328. “Borz†has sought a rematch, but Nassourdine
Imavov appears positioned to receive the next title shot.
Meanwhile, Allen called out former champion Dricus Du
Plessis after beating Duncan at

UFC 333 features two of the biggest title fights of the year as the Octagon returns to Abu Dhabi for a stacked card.

UFC 333 is just hours away as featherweight titleholder Alexander Volkanovski looks to stop Movsar Evloev's meteoric rise in the Abu Dhabi headliner. Volkanovski returns to the Octagon after defeating Diego Lopes in a title rematch at UFC 325.

Evloev earned the title shot against Volkanovski after recent wins over Aljamain Sterling, Lerone Murphy, and Arnold Allen. He remains unbeaten in his career and finally gets his long-awaited featherweight title shot.

The UFC 333 co-main event pits reigning bantamweight champion Petr Yan against Merab Dvalishvili in a trilogy fight. Yan defeated Dvalishvili by unanimous decision in their second fight at UFC 323 in December.

UFC 333 also features the returns of Alexander Volkov, Dominick Reyes, Aaron Pico, and other savvy veterans. Emerging talents will also look to make statements on one of the biggest cards of the year.

Check out the latest edition of BJPenn's Best Bets, sponsored by BetOnline, ahead of UFC 333.

Alexander Volkanovski vs. Movsar Evloev OVER 4.5 RDs (-275)

Volkanovski and Evloev have proven to be two of the most dominant fighters in UFC featherweight history during their careers. Ahead of their five-round battle at UFC 333, Volkanovski and Evloev have also shown a tendency to fight the long game inside the Octagon.

Volkanovski's last stoppage win came against then-interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez at UFC 290. Entering UFC 333, Volkanovski is coming off back-to-back unanimous decision wins over Diego Lopes in his second featherweight title reign.

Meanwhile, Evloev doesn't have a single stoppage win through 10 UFC fights. His last stoppage win came against Rafael Dias at M-1 Challenge 95 in July 2018, his final fight outside of the UFC before making his promotional debut.

Evloev recently claimed he wants to go the full five-round distance with Volkanovski when they meet in the Octagon, but Volkanovski wants to earn a long-awaited finish. Their intriguing stylistic matchup could mean a slower-paced fight in the Octagon when Volkanovski and Evloev clash.

Abdul Rakhman Yakhyaev by KO/TKO (-140)

UFC light heavyweight prospect Abdul Rakhman Yakhyaev will look to remain undefeated as he prepares to face the struggling Nikita Krylov on the UFC 333 undercard.

Yakhyaev has quickly risen in the light heavyweight division with three first-round finishes to kick off his UFC tenure. He secured a contract via Dana White's Contender Series with a 30-second knockout last year.

Three of Yakhyaev's last four fights lasted no longer than 33 seconds, including an eight-second knockout against Julius Walker in June. Eight of Yakhyaev's 10 wins have also finished by first-round stoppage.

Meanwhile, Krylov holds a significant experience advantage, but has struggled mightily since 2023. He's lost three of his last four fights, including against light heavyweight debutant Robert Whittaker at UFC 329 by TKO.

Yakhyaev's riding a lot of momentum heading into UFC 333, a trend that is worth betting on continuing against the struggling veteran.

Noah Gugnon ML (+136)

UFC lightweight prospect Noah Gugnon is one of the most overlooked talents preparing to fight at UFC 333. The French standout most recently submitted a fighter with twice his experience, Milos Janicic, in his promotional debut in August.

Gugnon has a well-rounded style with nasty grappling when he gets the fight to the ground. While Gugnon's opponent Kody Steele presents a similar challenge, Gugnon arguably has more ways to win inside the Octagon.

Gugnon vs. Steele has ‘Fight of the Night' potential at UFC 333. As a modest underdog, Gugnon is well worth taking a chance to continue his six-fight winning streak in Abu Dhabi.
