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.

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.
