Las Vegas, NV – UFC 329 is poised to deliver a monumental fight night at the T-Mobile Arena this Saturday, July 12, 2026, headlined by a highly anticipated welterweight rematch between two of the sport’s most iconic figures, Conor McGregor and Max Holloway. The event marks McGregor’s return to the octagon after an extended five-year hiatus, facing an opponent he previously defeated over a decade ago. The fight card, featuring 14 bouts, is drawing significant attention, with event contract exchanges like Kalshi offering markets on the outcomes, complemented by a promotional bonus using code CBSSPORTS.
The main event pits the sport’s biggest star, Conor McGregor (22-6), against former featherweight champion Max Holloway (27-9) in a clash that rekindles a rivalry spanning 13 years. Their initial encounter on August 17, 2013, at a UFC Fight Night card saw McGregor emerge victorious. Both fighters subsequently ascended to championship status, making this long-awaited rematch a pivotal moment for their respective legacies. McGregor, aged 37, will step back into the cage for the first time since July 2021, when he suffered a first-round TKO loss to Dustin Poirier. His opponent, 34-year-old Max Holloway, has maintained an active schedule, competing eight times since McGregor’s last appearance. Holloway, a former UFC featherweight and BMF champion, enters this contest following a loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 326 in March. This fight also represents a significant shift in weight class, moving from their original featherweight bout to welterweight. On the federally regulated event contract exchange Kalshi, market prices reflect Holloway as the favored fighter, trading at $0.72 per share, while McGregor is priced at $0.28 per share, underscoring the perceived challenges of his long layoff and the formidable opponent in Holloway.
The co-main event features another compelling lightweight contest between England’s Paddy Pimblett (23-4) and France’s Benoit Saint Denis (17-3). Pimblett, 31, suffered his first UFC loss and his first defeat since 2018 in January at UFC 324 against Justin Gaethje, snapping a nine-fight winning streak. He aims to avoid consecutive losses, a rarity in his professional career. Standing opposite him is the 30-year-old Saint Denis, who rides a four-fight winning streak after previously experiencing back-to-back defeats. Saint Denis is renowned for his aggressive finishing style, with all 17 of his professional MMA victories coming via stoppage, 15 of which occurred within the first two rounds. His significant strike accuracy stands as the highest in UFC lightweight history. Kalshi markets list Saint Denis at $0.54 per share, slightly favoring him over Pimblett, who trades at $0.46 per share.
UFC 329’s main card also features a series of high-stakes bouts across various divisions. In the bantamweight division, Cory Sandhagen (18-6) faces Mario Bautista (17-3) in a rematch from 2019, where Sandhagen secured a first-round submission victory. Sandhagen, 34, has experienced a challenging run, with a 3-5 record in his last eight fights after an initial 8-0 start to his career. Conversely, the 32-year-old Bautista has been on an impressive trajectory, holding an 11-2 UFC record since his debut loss to Sandhagen and winning nine of his last ten fights, most recently defeating Vinicius Oliveira in February. Sandhagen is priced at $0.56 per share on Kalshi, with Bautista at $0.44.

Royval, 33, has seen mixed results recently, with a 2-3 record in his last five fights and is currently on his second career two-fight losing streak. Kalshi prices Kavanagh at $0.68 per share, significantly favoring him over Royval at $0.32.
Rounding out the featured bouts, King Green (35-17-1, 1 NC) takes on Terrance McKinney (18-8) in a lightweight contest.

McKinney, 31, is known for his explosive and quick finishes, holding the shortest average fight time in UFC lightweight history. All 18 of his professional wins have come inside the distance (9 KO, 9 submission), with eight of those finishes occurring in under a minute and 17 in the first round.
