This year’s International Fight Week card is almost here.
UFC 329 goes down inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, in just three weeks (Sat., July 11, 2026), and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is going all out to deliver a fun night of fights.

Headlining the summer event, former two-division champion Conor McGregor returns from a five-year layoff to take on Max Holloway in a rematch 13 years in the making.
In the co-main event, former interim Lightweight title challenger Paddy Pimblett collides with French madman Benoit Saint-Denis in a very important fight for the 155-pound division.
During the UFC Vegas 119 broadcast last night, the promotion revealed the rest of the main card for the upcoming mega event.
The biggest change from the original announcement is that Olympic gold medalist and two-time NCAA Division I Heavyweight champion Gable Steveson has been bumped from the main card to the prelims. He takes on Elisha Ellison.

Taking Steveson’s place is an ultra-violent Lightweight banger between King Green and Terrance McKinney, which should be ridiculous for as long as it lasts.
Also on the main card is a rematch between top Bantamweights Cory Sandhagen and Mario Bautista. They first fought in 2019, with Sandhagen submitting Bautista in Bautista’s UFC debut.
Former Flyweight title challenger Brandon Royval and rising contender Lone’er Kavanagh will also hook ’em up in what should be a high-octane scrap.
Fight for fight, it is an awesome main card, which is rare because history has shown McGregor cards can be watered down since he is the star of the show. Remember UFC 246’s main card?
Nevertheless, there are three weeks until showtime, and UFC 329 is looking very, very fun.
Check out the rest of the card right here.
