UFC 329 Main Card Start Time

Conor McGregor vs Max Holloway Start Time

• Odds: Holloway -265 / McGregor +215
• Total: 2.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~11:15 pm ET / 8:15 pm PT

McGregor (22-6) returns from a five-year layoff, his last outing the broken-leg loss to Dustin Poirier in 2021. Both men move up to welterweight for this rematch of their 2013 featherweight fight, which McGregor won by decision. Holloway (27-9) is the sizable favorite here, though he’s jumping up two divisions himself.

Benoit Saint-Denis vs Paddy Pimblett

• Odds: Saint-Denis -142 / Pimblett +120
• Total: 2.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~10:45 pm ET / 7:45 pm PT

This is a top-10 lightweight fight with real title-shot stakes, as both guys are openly campaigning for Ilia Topuria. Saint-Denis (17-3) rides a four-fight finishing streak that includes a knockout of Dan Hooker at UFC 325. Pimblett (23-4) is coming off an interim title loss to Justin Gaethje but showed serious durability in that one.

Cory Sandhagen vs Mario Bautista

• Odds: Sandhagen -142 / Bautista +120
• Total: 2.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~10:15 pm ET / 7:15 pm PT

Two of the bantamweight division’s sharper finishers meet here. Sandhagen (18-6) is a former title contender known for his spinning kicks and clean boxing. Bautista (17-3) has quietly climbed the 135-pound ladder on the back of his speed and an improving grappling game.

Brandon Royval vs Lone’er Kavanagh

• Odds: Kavanagh -218 / Royval +180
• Total: 2.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~9:45 pm ET / 6:45 pm PT

Kavanagh (10-1) enters as the favorite in what should be a fun flyweight scramble, leaning on his movement and boxing. Royval (17-9) is a submission specialist who’s never boring and always live for a finish. This one has real chaos potential.

Bobby Green vs Terrance McKinney

• Odds: Green -112 / McKinney -108
• Total: 1.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~9:15 pm ET / 6:15 pm PT

The closest line on the whole card opens the main card, a near coin flip at lightweight. Green (35-17-1) is the entertaining veteran who can turn any fight into a scrap, and he’s coming off two straight finishes. McKinney (18-8) is a fast-paced finisher who comes forward hard from the opening bell.

UFC 329 Prelims Start Time

Robert Whittaker vs Nikita Krylov

• Odds: Whittaker -125 / Krylov +105
• Total: 1.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~8:45 pm ET / 5:45 pm PT

Whittaker (27-9) makes his official light heavyweight debut, saying the middleweight chapter has closed after a long run at 185. The former champ hasn’t been on a prelim since 2013, so this is an odd sight in the best way. Krylov (31-11) is a dangerous test with wins over Alexander Gustafsson and Volkan Oezdemir on his resume.

Gable Steveson vs Elisha Ellison

• Odds: Steveson -1450 / Ellison +850
• Total: 1.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~8:15 pm ET / 5:15 pm PT

Steveson (3-0) makes his long-awaited UFC debut as the biggest favorite on the card by a mile. The two-time Olympic wrestling gold medalist trains alongside Jon Jones and has three wins, all by first-round stoppage. Ellison (5-2) drew a very tough assignment for this spot.

Cody Garbrandt vs Adrian Yanez

• Odds: Yanez -425 / Garbrandt +330
• Total: 1.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~7:45 pm ET / 4:45 pm PT

Former bantamweight champ Garbrandt (15-7) is still trying to claw back toward the top and has gone 3-2 since returning to 135. Yanez (17-6-1) comes in off a March draw with Ricky Simon and is a clear favorite on his boxing. This one should stay in the pocket.

Luke Riley vs Kai Kamaka III

• Odds: Riley -225 / Kamaka +185
• Total: 2.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~7:15 pm ET / 4:15 pm PT

Undefeated Riley (13-0) is the favorite and carries good power, having looked sharp through his UFC run so far. Kamaka (18-7-1) is durable and competitive, the kind of opponent who tests a young prospect. Riley’s development gets a real look here.

UFC 329 Early Prelims Start Time

Tracy Cortez vs Cong Wang

• Odds: Wang -120 / Cortez +100
• Total: 2.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~6:45 pm ET / 3:45 pm PT

A near pick-’em in the women’s flyweight division. Wang (9-1) is the slight favorite and the cleaner striker of the two. Cortez (12-3) leans heavily on her wrestling to control the pace.

Damian Pinas vs Cesar Almeida

• Odds: Pinas -258 / Almeida +210
• Total: 1.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~6:30 pm ET / 3:30 pm PT

Pinas (9-1) is the favorite in a middleweight matchup between two guys who can finish. Almeida (7-2) has a kickboxing background that shows on the feet, but the grappling is more of a question mark. Where this fight goes decides a lot.

Farid Basharat vs John Garza

• Odds: Basharat -650 / Garza +470
• Total: 2.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~6:15 pm ET / 3:15 pm PT

Undefeated Basharat (15-0) is a heavy favorite in this bantamweight bout. Garza comes in as the sizable underdog and will look to spring the upset. Basharat’s grappling is the story to watch.

Ryan Gandra vs Zach Reese

• Odds: Gandra -135 / Reese +114
• Total: 1.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~5:45 pm ET / 2:45 pm PT

A competitive middleweight matchup on the early card. Gandra (9-1) is a fast starter with real power who tends to overwhelm opponents early. Reese (10-3) can steal rounds and will try to drag this into deeper water.

Alessandro Costa vs Cody Durden

• Odds: Costa -225 / Durden +185
• Total: 1.5 rounds
• Projected ringwalk: ~5:15 pm ET / 2:15 pm PT

Costa opens the night as the favorite in a flyweight bout, bringing quality striking and an underrated ground game. Durden (18-10-1) is a tough veteran who often takes short-notice fights. Costa’s all-around game is the edge on paper.
