Once again, the epitome of MMA entertainment delivered with its latest slate of matchups, and another numbered event is behind us. UFC 329 is a thing of the past, as one of the most anticipated nights in recent history of the promotion brought us a long awaited rematch of two of the most influential and biggest fighters ever. Conor McGregor’s long awaited return against Max Holloway came 13 years after their first meeting, a whole era ago in 2013 when McGregor won by unanimous decision.

While the main event ended in heartbreaking fashion and was definitely something fans did not want to see, the rest of the card produced statement performances from established contenders and rising stars alike. We can go as far as to say that several divisions were transformed. From quick submissions to dramatic comebacks and career defining victories, nearly every fight carried significant implications for the rankings and future title pictures.
