The main card for UFC 329 during International Fight Week has been announced, featuring Conor McGregor in the headline bout. The analyst notes the card appears weak in star power beyond McGregor, which is concerning given the Irishman's history of cancellations, including the Chandler situation two years ago. If McGregor were to withdraw, the backup main event would likely be Max Holloway versus Paddy Pimblett, which may not carry sufficient drawing power. The author suggests UFC should add insurance to the card, such as Charles Oliveira versus Arman Tsarukyan, potentially even for the BMF belt. The commentary reflects concerns about relying too heavily on McGregor given his recent unreliability.
