The main card for UFC 329 during International Fight Week has drawn criticism for lacking star power beyond Conor McGregor. Analysts note that while McGregor's presence typically carried past events, his recent unreliability—exemplified by the Chandler situation two years ago—creates risk. If McGregor withdraws, the backup main event options like Holloway versus Pimblett may not generate sufficient interest. Suggestions include adding fighters like Oliveira and Tsarukyan, potentially for the BMF belt, to strengthen the card and provide insurance against another McGregor cancellation that could leave the event underwhelming.
