UFC 329 Live Results
Alessandro Costa def. Cody Durden via second-round submission (rear-naked choke)
Costa delivered a strong performance to kick off the show. There was some solid back-and-forth in the first frame, but Costa seized the momentum late in the frame, hurting Durden just before the horn.

Early in the second, Costa got the fight to ground early, worked his way to Durden’s back before securing the rear-naked choke submission win.
Ryan Gandra Def. Zach Reese via first-round KO
Just as Joe Rogan and Co. were complimenting Reese’s form in the opening moments of the first round, Gandra detonated a leaping left hook that floored his opponent. After a few shots on the ground, referee Mike Beltran called an end to the fight.
The victory continued Gandra’s streak. He’s now won nine in a row including six in a row by finish. The last five have been from strikes. His nickname is the Problema, and that’s proving to be accurate.
Farid Basharat def. John Garza via Unanimous Decision (30-27x2, 29-28)
Don’t let the scorecards fool you.
While they’re correct, Garza should be commended for this effort. He took this fight on short notice and fought extremely well. The 23-year-old Garza showed excellent cardio, a chin and strong boxing. He will be heard from in the future.
Basharat’s overall MMA game was the difference. He used diversified striking, relentless wrestling and durability to earn the victory. This was the last fight on his contract and he campaigned for a new deal during his post-fight interview with Rogan.
Damian Pinas def. Cezar Almeida via first-round KO
Pinas has some serious star potential. The Aruba native took a calm and measured approach en route to a devastating one-punch KO of Almeida. It was a straight right-hand counter punch off Almeida’s leg kick that led to the one-hitter-quitter.
Pinas improved to 10-1 with his sixth straight win, all by stoppage. The only loss on his career came from an illegal kick in March 2024. He’s the real deal. Pinas called out Baisangur Susurkaev during his post-fight interview.
Wang Cong def. Tracy Cortez via unanimous decision (29-27x3)
Wang’s striking and takedown defense were the key. She picked Cortez apart and shut down any takedown attempts.
Referee Jason Herzon deducted a point from Wang in the second round for an illegal knee to the face of a downed opponent.
That’s the only thing that kept the fight from being a complete 30-27 sweep.
Luke Riley def. Kai Kamaka via first-round TKO
Riley is one of the most highly touted prospects in the UFC, and he looked strong in his promotional debut. While he ate a lot of leg kicks, his boxing looked excellent. Powerful combinations were present while the fight lasted, but it was a big straight right hand that floored Kamaka and led to the stoppage.
Referee Kerry Hatley probably stepped in a little soon, but the end was probably a foregone conclusion.
Adrian Yanez def. Cody Garbrandt via first-round TKO
Garbrandt is still fast and exciting, but he also still has the same weaknesses: poor striking defense and a suspect chin. That’s a troubling combination. Referee Herb Dean made sure no one would accuse him of stopping the fight too late.
Yanez lit Garbrandt up with counter right hands in the midst of furious exchanges. Yanez’s defense and accuracy in the fire was the difference and it led to the TKO win.
Gable Steveson def. Elisha Ellison via first-round TKO
Steveson did what we all expected. He blasted his way through Ellison. However, Ellison did a solid job providing a dangerous impediment for Steveson in his promotional debut.
Steveson was warned for a low blow via front kick and he took a couple of hard shots from Ellison. Still, he didn’t seem bothered by any of it as he scored the stoppage win.

What Happened In McGregor-Holloway 1?
They first met on Aug. 17, 2013 at UFC Fight Night 26 in Boston, a featherweight bout buried on the prelims. A 25-year-old Conor McGregor, in just his second UFC fight, beat a 21-year-old Max Holloway by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26).
The craziest part about their first meeting is that McGregor leaned on wrestling, landing four takedowns and piling up more than six minutes of control. He also tore his ACL during the fight and still won. Both men reportedly made about $12,000 that night. Thirteen years later, they finally run it back for far more than $12,000.
