UFC 329 fight week is already delivering headlines, with a new weigh-in format for Conor McGregor’s return, a dramatic BMF title outcome involving Charles Oliveira, and Dustin Poirier dealing with legal trouble.
The UFC 329 weigh-ins are getting a new look for McGregor, with CBS involved in the revamped setup. The former champion has been part of highly publicized UFC weigh-ins before, and his comeback is again drawing extra attention.
Max Holloway, who headlines UFC 329, reacted to a BMF title fight outcome involving Charles Oliveira, also referred to as “Do Bronxs.” Holloway has also expressed “nothing but respect” for McGregor discussing mental health.
Away from the Octagon, “The Diamond” Dustin Poirier recently experienced an airport arrest. In another legal development, Raja Jackson has been jailed following an attack on Syko Stu.
Elsewhere in the MMA world, Elves Brenner holds a 2-0 record over a member of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s camp, while Diego Brandao is still competing at 39 years of age. Veteran Chris Lytle, known as “Lights Out,” and action-focused fighters like Terrance McKinney and Tony Ferguson remain part of the broader conversation as notable names and storylines continue to swirl around the July 6, 2026 news cycle.
One comment tied to recent action summed up a sense of responsibility in the cage: “Be mad at me, I should have stopped him,” while another reminder of competitive intensity echoed in the phrase “No free kicks.”
