Fight week for UFC 329 is officially under way, with Conor McGregor already making his presence felt at the ceremonial poster signing. The event marks one of the most anticipated cards in recent memory.
Fight week for UFC 329 is officially underway, with the event slated for July 11, 2026, and the build-up already generating significant attention after Conor McGregor made a high-profile appearance at the ceremonial poster signing.
McGregor, the 37-year-old Irishman nicknamed "The Notorious," enters fight week as one of the sport's most recognizable figures. He carries a professional record of 22 wins and 6 losses and trains out of SBG Ireland. A southpaw standing 175 centimeters tall with a 188-centimeter reach, McGregor has long been known for his striking output — he averages 5.32 significant strikes landed per minute at a 49 percent accuracy rate, numbers that reflect both his volume and his ability to find a home for his shots. His grappling contributions are secondary to his stand-up game, with 0.67 takedowns per 15 minutes and just 0.1 submission attempts per 15 minutes across his career.
Why it matters
- McGregor's involvement immediately elevates UFC 329's commercial profile, consistent with his history of driving pay-per-view interest
- At 37, with a 22-6-0 record, his positioning on the card carries weight for divisional narratives
- His poster-signing appearance signals an active, visible role in fight week promotion, setting the tone for what is already being described as one of the more anticipated events in recent memory
