UFC 329 lineup receives new middleweight bout

UFC 329 has expanded to 12 confirmed fights with the addition of a middleweight matchup between Ryan Gandra and Zachary Reese. The Las Vegas event takes place at the T-Mobile Arena and will air in its entirety on Paramount+.

The card is headlined by a welterweight rematch between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway, with Benoit St. Denis facing Paddy Pimblett at lightweight in the co-main event.

Gandra earned his UFC contract after a successful stint on the Contender Series and made an immediate impact at UFC Fight Night 268, where he stopped Jose Medina in just 41 seconds on February 28. The striker has won nine of his ten professional bouts overall, with seven finishes.

Reese, also a Contender Series graduate, is recovering from a split-decision loss to Michel Pereira at UFC Houston on February 21. The 32-year-old Texan carries a 4–3 UFC record with one no contest.
