The UFC has officially announced a lightweight bout between Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint-Denis for UFC 329 on July 11. According to Ariel Helwani, the UFC is also planning to book Max Holloway versus Conor McGregor for the same UFC 329 card and Islam Makhachev versus Ian Garry for UFC 330. Guram Azizyan, who trains Alexander Pavlovich, Sharabutdin Magomedov, Alikhan Guskov and Johnny Walker, stated he would like to see a rematch with Alexander Volkov, claiming Volkov only ran during their first fight and that Pavlovich needs only a tactical adjustment to win. The summary also mentioned Sean O'Malley teaching Nina how to ride a motorcycle and Anatoly Malykhin explaining why he will not leave ONE Championship for the UFC despite receiving offers, citing loyalty to ONE and its CEO who supported him when no one else would.
