Las Vegas hosts UFC 329 main card results, including McGregor vs Holloway 2
The UFC 329 event in Las Vegas featured a highly anticipated main card, highlighted by the return of Conor McGregor in a welterweight bout against Max Holloway. This rematch took place 13 years after their initial encounter, which McGregor won by unanimous decision. The event, held at the T-Mobile Arena, also showcased several other significant fights across various weight classes.
One of the main card’s early results saw King Green secure a victory over Terrance McKinney. Green won by TKO due to strikes at 4:59 of the first round. McKinney had been the aggressor for much of the round, backing Green down and landing shots. He also achieved a takedown and worked from dominant positions, attempting chokes and striking. However, Green managed to get back to his feet with 30 seconds remaining in the round. He then went on the offensive, hurting McKinney with body shots and finishing the fight just before the horn. This win extended Green’s winning streak to four, with three consecutive finishes, matching his longest streak in the UFC. The 39-year-old fighter has consistently demonstrated his capabilities, and he has expressed interest in a future fight in Los Angeles.
The main card also included several other compelling matchups. In the flyweight division, former title challenger and number four ranked contender Brandon Royval faced number six ranked Lone’er Kavanagh. Both fighters are known for their striking abilities.
