The main card for UFC 329 during International Fight Week has been announced, with Conor McGregor featured as the headliner. Observers note the card appears less star-studded than typical major events, relying heavily on McGregor's drawing power. Concerns were raised that if McGregor withdraws as he did two years ago when facing Chandler, the backup options like Max Holloway versus Paddy Pimblett might not carry the same appeal. That previous situation required a hastily arranged Pereira-Prochazka rematch and left fans disappointed with the overall card quality. Suggestions were made that UFC should add another major fight like Oliveira versus Tsarukyan, potentially for the BMF belt, as insurance against potential card weakening.
