UFC 329 and UFC 330 Results
Max Holloway and Islam Makhachev both won summer 2026 fights, with only Makhachev’s cited bout contested for a championship. At UFC 329 on July 11, Holloway stopped Conor McGregor in a non-title welterweight bout at 1:09 of Round 1 after McGregor suffered a knee injury. At UFC 330 on August 15, Makhachev defended the UFC welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry by unanimous decision (49–46, 49–46, 48–47). Makhachev is no longer the lightweight champion, and the August fight was no longer a preview: it had happened.
