PARADISE, Nevada — Max Holloway defeated Conor McGregor by technical knockout at 1:09 of the first round in the UFC 329 main event on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena, according to official results published by UFC.com. The UFC 329 results confirmed Holloway's win by TKO — listed by Wikipedia as a knee injury stoppage — in the Irishman's first Octagon appearance since he broke his leg at UFC 264 in July 2021.
The bout was a rematch of a 2013 featherweight meeting won by McGregor, and marked Holloway's debut in the welterweight division. MMA Junkie, cited by Wikipedia, reported the victory made Holloway the first fighter to score stoppage wins across three UFC weight classes.
On the main card, Paddy Pimblett submitted Benoît Saint Denis with a Peruvian necktie at 0:52 of the first round, earning Performance of the Night. Mario Bautista took a unanimous decision over Cory Sandhagen (29–28, 29–28, 29–28), Brandon Royval submitted Lone'er Kavanagh with a rear-naked choke for Fight of the Night, and King Green stopped Terrance McKinney by TKO.
UFC 329 drew a record gate of $26,430,566 and an attendance of 20,078, per UFC.com. The card tied the promotion record with 11 finishes.
**Global angle:** The record gate underscores the sustained commercial pull of marquee UFC events in the United States, with McGregor's return driving international pay-per-view interest across Europe, Africa and Asia.
