UFC 329 Weigh‑Ins Shift to CBS Special Before McGregor Return

Primetime Weigh‑Ins on CBS

UFC 329 will break from the usual Las Vegas routine this Friday. Instead of the typical Meta Apex weigh‑ins at 9 a.m. local time, the main and co‑main event ceremonial weigh‑ins will air as a primetime special on CBS. The hour‑long program, titled “This is UFC: McGregor vs. Holloway,” premieres live on CBS at 9 p.m. ET, giving fans an early look at the fighters.

Star‑Studded Pre‑Fight Entertainment

The special features appearances from Conor McGregor, Max Holloway, Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint Denis, plus a cameo from UFC CEO Dana White. McGregor will also sit down for a dedicated interview during the broadcast. Watch the full countdown video to feel the buildup.

McGregor’s Return After Five Years

UFC 329 streams on Paramount+ on July 11 from the T‑Mobile Arena, marking McGregor’s first fight in roughly five years. His last outing against Holloway ended in a unanimous decision victory in 2013, a result that now feels distant given the changes in the sport and his career. Coach Julian Dalby praised his condition: “Conor’s in fantastic shape,” he said. “I’ve never seen him look so good before. Combining Conor’s accuracy with the power that he has now, he’s unstoppable.”
