Dana White has confirmed that UFC 329 generated $25 million at the gate, setting a new record in UFC history. The previous record was held by UFC 306, which drew $21.8 million. Conor McGregor is now a participant in three of the four highest-grossing events in UFC history.
Dana White has confirmed that UFC 329 shattered the promotion's all-time gate record, generating $25 million in ticket revenue, according to an announcement made around the time of the July 11 event.
The previous record had been set by UFC 306, which drew $21.8 million at the gate. UFC 329 surpassed that mark by more than $3 million, representing a significant leap in the promotion's live revenue history.
Conor McGregor, the 37-year-old Irish superstar fighting out of SBG Ireland, is now tied to three of the four highest-grossing events in UFC history. The southpaw lightweight and former two-division champion stands at 22 wins and 6 losses across his professional career. Known for his high-output striking, McGregor averages 5.32 significant strikes landed per minute at a 49 percent accuracy rate, making him one of the most recognizable and marketable figures the sport has ever produced. His 74-inch reach — unusually long for a fighter who stands 175 centimeters tall — has been a physical asset throughout his career.
Why it matters
- The $25 million gate represents a new commercial benchmark for the UFC, eclipsing the previous record by more than 14 percent.
- McGregor's presence on three of the four top-grossing cards underlines his sustained box-office value, even years into his career.
- The record reinforces the UFC's ability to grow live event revenue at a time when the promotion continues to expand its global footprint.
