The UFC has laid out an ambitious pay-per-view slate for the second half of 2026, with a reported seven numbered events featuring some of the sport's biggest names across multiple divisions.

Max Holloway

Headlining UFC 329 is a highly anticipated clash between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway. McGregor, who carries a 22-7 record and fights out of SBG Ireland, is 38 years old and brings a southpaw striking game built around volume and precision — he lands 5.27 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy and owns a reach of 74 inches. Holloway, ranked fourth in the lightweight division and ninth in the pound-for-pound standings, brings one of the sport's most relentless outputs to the cage. The 34-year-old American holds a 28-9 record, lands an exceptional 6.92 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy, and trains out of Gracie Technics.

Islam Makhachev

UFC 330 is set to feature welterweight champion Islam Makhachev against Ian Machado Garry. Makhachev, the 34-year-old Russian, is the top pound-for-pound fighter on the roster with a 29-1 record. A southpaw who competes out of Eagles MMA, he is a dominant grappler averaging 3.22 takedowns per 15 minutes and 0.9 submission attempts per 15 minutes, while also posting a striking accuracy of 58 percent.

Movsar Evloev

The card at UFC 331 is reported to pit Alexander Volkanovski against Movsar Evloev, with a BMF title bout between Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan in the co-main. UFC 332 features Petr Yan against Merab Dvalishvili, UFC 333 puts Tom Aspinall opposite Ciryl Gane in a heavyweight showcase, and UFC 334 closes the run with Sean Strickland taking on Khamzat Chimaev.

Why it matters

  • McGregor versus Holloway represents a collision of two of the most recognizable strikers in promotional history
  • Makhachev's welterweight title defense adds championship stakes to a division undergoing a major shift
  • Aspinall versus Gane and Strickland versus Chimaev add heavyweight and middleweight title implications to an already loaded stretch of events
  • If the full slate holds, this run of pay-per-views would represent an unusually deep concentration of elite matchups across six different divisions
