McGregor vs. Holloway at UFC 329: The Rematch, the Odds, and Why MVP MMA 1 Made the UFC Look Untouchable
Conor McGregor is officially back. UFC 329, July 11, 2026, T-Mobile Arena — McGregor versus Max Holloway in a welterweight rematch at 170 pounds. The UFC announced it mid-MVP MMA 1, which was either perfect timing or a mercy kill depending on how you look at it. Because MVP MMA 1 was not the show the sport needed. Ronda Rousey submitted Gina Carano in 17 seconds, then retired on the microphone. Junior dos Santos and Francis Ngannou were involved in mismatches. The broadcast felt decades behind. Meanwhile, the UFC is heading into the most ambitious summer in company history — Freedom 250 at the White House on June 14th, Makhachev vs. Gaethje for the lightweight title, Pereira vs. Gane for the interim heavyweight belt, and a full UFC 329 card built around the return of the sport’s biggest star. The gap between the real sport and everything else has never looked wider.
MVP MMA Netflix Adds Nate Diaz vs Mike Perry — But Is It a Real Promotion or a Pro Wrestling Spot Show?
The MVP MMA Netflix card on May 16 keeps getting bigger. Nate Diaz vs Mike Perry now joins Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano and Francis Ngannou vs Philipe Lins in a star-studded triple headliner at the Intuit Dome. But Dave Simon argues the entire card feels like a pro wrestling spot show — big names, no young talent, and no long-term promotional structure. Meanwhile, Khamzat Chimaev vs Sean Strickland has been confirmed for UFC 328 in Newark, and the hosts break down Murphy vs Evloev at UFC London.
UFC Freedom 250 Exposes the UFC’s Broken Promise Machine
The UFC promised us the greatest card in history for the White House event. Six or seven title fights. Jon Jones. Conor McGregor. Francis Ngannou. What we actually received was UFC Freedom 250 — a card with Topuria vs Gaethje and Pereira vs Gane, but no superstars, no superfights, and the quiet confirmation that Jon Jones will never fight in the UFC again. This week, Jones fired back at Dana White on Twitter revealing he was actively negotiating and received stem cell treatment. Ronda Rousey went scorched earth on the streaming model. And the Conor Benn Zufa Boxing payday exposed how dramatically the UFC undervalues its own fighters. Dave Simon calls it what it is: over-promising and under-delivering.
