An analyst has expressed concerns about the UFC 329 main card during International Fight Week, noting that beyond the Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway bout, the card appears lacking in star power. The commentary references the situation two years ago when McGregor was scheduled to fight Chandler but withdrew, leaving a weak card that had to be salvaged with a hastily arranged Pereira-Prochazka rematch. There is worry that if McGregor were to pull out again, the event would lack sufficient marquee names to carry it. The suggestion is made that UFC should add another significant bout as insurance, such as Charles Oliveira vs. Arman Tsarukyan, potentially even for the BMF belt. The overall sentiment is that while McGregor's return is anticipated, the promotion should not rely solely on him given his recent history.
