The main card for UFC 329 has been revealed ahead of International Fight Week, headlined by Conor McGregor's return. However, the card is notably lacking in star power beyond the Irish superstar. The author expresses concern that the promotion appears to be relying entirely on McGregor's drawing power without building a strong supporting cast, which could be problematic given his recent history of fight cancellations. A specific reference is made to a situation two years ago when McGregor was scheduled to fight Chandler but the bout fell through, leaving a weak card that had to be salvaged with a hastily arranged Pereira vs. Prochazka rematch. If McGregor were to withdraw again, the post suggests Holloway vs. Pimblett might become the main event. The author recommends UFC add another marquee fight as insurance, potentially Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan for the BMF belt.
