Conor McGregor’s Return Sparks CBS Primetime Special for UFC 329 Weigh-Ins

Conor McGregor’s highly anticipated return to the UFC has garnered so much attention that Paramount has decided to air a special primetime broadcast of the UFC 329 ceremonial weigh-ins live on CBS. The event, titled “This is UFC: McGregor vs. Holloway,” is set to air this Friday at 9 p.m. ET and will feature interviews with McGregor, Holloway, and UFC president Dana White.

UFC 329 is scheduled to take place on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with McGregor facing off against Max Holloway in a welterweight rematch. The two fighters previously met 13 years ago, with McGregor emerging victorious in a dominant performance. The event will also include a co-main event featuring a lightweight clash between Benoit Saint Denis and Paddy Pimblett, both of whom will be showcased during the special broadcast of the ceremonial weigh-ins.

For fans wondering if any fights from UFC 329 will be shown on TV, the answer is that the entire event will be exclusively streamed on Paramount+. This decision marks a shift from previous UFC events that were simulcast on CBS to drive subscriptions to Paramount+. While past events saw only portions of the fights airing on CBS before switching to streaming on Paramount+, UFC 329 will be available in its entirety on Paramount+.

The full UFC 329 card includes the main event between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway, as well as matchups between Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint Denis, Mario Bautista and Cory Sandhagen, Lone’er Kavanagh and Brandon Royval, and King Green and Terrance Mc. Get ready for an action-packed night of fights with Paramount+ as the exclusive home for UFC 329.
