Paddy Pimblett Eyes Conor McGregor Showdown if Both Win at UFC 329
Paddy Pimblett is fully focused on UFC 329 this weekend and has set his sights on a blockbuster clash with Conor McGregor. McGregor returns after five years away to face Max Holloway in the main event, while Pimblett meets Benoît Saint-Denis in the co-main slot. Despite his first UFC loss to Justin Gaethje earlier this year, Pimblett believes his profile has never been stronger. He pointed out that fans reacted more to his defeat than to his previous seven-fight win streak, which included victories over Michael Chandler, Bobby Green and Tony Ferguson. If both emerge victorious at UFC 329, Pimblett wants to make the McGregor fight happen before year’s end. He envisions a welterweight showdown at Madison Square Garden and expects it to rank among the UFC’s biggest matchups heading into 2027.
