Conor McGregor is making his highly anticipated return to the UFC octagon after a five-year absence. He is scheduled to face Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 329, taking place in Las Vegas. This comeback also signifies McGregor's re-entry into the welterweight division.

Fans have two subscription options on Paramount+. The Essential plan costs $8.99 per month and includes advertisements, while the Premium tier is available for $13.99 per month, offering fewer ads and access to local CBS affiliate programming. Both tiers provide access to all live UFC fights and related content.
The UFC's partnership with Paramount+ is secured for the next seven years, ensuring a consistent platform for fans to follow the sport weekly. Viewers can find UFC 329 within a dedicated UFC collection on the Paramount+ service.
